Look closer at efficient fleet management

Vehicles have to be sourced and kept on the road cost-effectively. Running the fleet efficiently might start with keeping down the costs, but does not begin and end with finding low-cost fuel, tyres and other consumables. It involves everything from maintenance scheduling to route planning. Drivers have to be checked and, where necessary, trained or re-trained.    

More strategically, the fleet must meet stringent duty of care obligations. If any of the fleet’s vehicles is involved in an accident, regardless of the immediate cause, subsequent investigation may find the organisation at least partially responsible. Any finding of duty of care neglect by the fleet manager is likely to bring serious consequences for the organisation.
