Local Authority Fleet Management

Local authority fleets are among the most varied on the road, from pool cars and vans to specialist and grey-fleet vehicles, all run under public scrutiny and tight budgets. Every cost has to be justified and every vehicle kept compliant. Local authority fleet management from MDEL brings order and accountability to all of it, as your outsourced fleet department.

The Fleet Challenges for Local Authorities

• Fair, transparent procurement and disposal
