Fleet management is the use of a set of vehicles to provide a service to a third party or the undertaking of an activity in an organisation in the most efficient and effective way possible.
This is done within a certain budget, in line with a certain standard of service and in accordance with current legislation.
Fleet management is fundamental in a company in order to develop its strategy, reduce costs, optimise fleet management activities, improve the service provided, reduce contaminating emissions and increase mobility in cities.
