Trump’s tariffs are a grand economic experiment on a global scale. Nobody knows what the economic system will look like when the dust has settled. But it’s safe to say that ‘globalisation’ as we’ve known it, is over. What’s not over, are global businesses, and global fleets. Amid major economic and geopolitical turmoil, you must adjust your global fleet strategy to keep your eyes on the prize: cost control, sustainability, and optimization through digitization.

At the Global Fleet Summit 2025, from 12 to 14 May in Cascais, global fleet managers, thought leaders, and industry experts will discuss and demonstrate how to stay focused on your fleet goals, even in a market environment that is as volatile and uncertain as the coming months and years promise to be, with a global trade war looming on the horizon.

Spread over three days, this 48-hour event is created specifically for global, regional, and multinational fleet leaders and decision makers like you.

The Global Fleet Summit is the only gathering where the world’s largest fleets managers can meet and discover Fleet & Mobility suppliers from around the globe!

Started in 2012, the Global Fleet Summit (previously called “The Global Fleet Conference”) is now in its 12th year’s edition. This bi-annual event (1 live session, 1 online session) has been held in many inspiring cities around the world such as Lisbon, Brussels, Rome or Miami.

The global Fleet Summit is the annual gathering of managers of the world’s largest multinational commercial fleets.
Through exclusive live and virtual events sessions, Global Fleet members get the chance to exchange, discuss and share solutions about Global Fleet’s problematics.

Are you responsible for fleet and/or mobility decision-making in your company? Do you have responsibility across one or mutliple regions? Are you interested in learning, networking and exchanging with peers?

The 2025 Global Fleet Summit will host a breakfast meeting for the Global Fleet Managers Club, the best-practice sharing network exclusively reserved to global and regional fleet buyers.

The event in Cascais will again host a meeting of the Inspiring Women in Fleet initiative. This initiative was launched in 2022 to support gender-inclusivity, and empower women and other gender groups in the international fleet and mobility industry. The meeting will be followed by a networking drink. Attendees will also have the opportunity to test drive some of the latest vehicle models that could be interesting additions to your car policy.
