Fleet Management

A Government fleet refers to the fleet owned wholly by the government. Government fleets are mainly aimed at maximizing social and economic welfare rather than the maximization of profits. Of course, profits are required to sustain each and every business; government fleets are no exception.

Government fleet management consists of tasks which are also common to private fleet operators such as the tracking of vehicles, shipment management, mechanical diagnostics and fleet driver behavior monitoring.

Government fleet management concentrates on the efficient and effective maintenance of cost-effective and productive fleet operations. Governments also lead the way in implementing best practice standards for the minimization of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. They offer fleet services to the public and private individuals and their scope of operations extends to both national and international geographical boundaries.

The government fleet includes provision of the following vehicles:

* Ships.

* Airplanes.

* Buses.

* Trolleys.

* Trucks.

* Railways.

* Any other mode of fleet transportation.

There are endless benefits provided by government fleet services:

* They are considered to be more reliable than private fleet operators.

* They are more economical.

* They also offer services associated with fleet operations such as warehousing, storage and distribution of goods.

* They follow a strict delivery schedule, thus maximizing levels of customer satisfaction.

* It is believed that the government fleet carriers report fewer accidents than private fleet carriers.

National and state government fleet operations carry various responsibilities and standards that are required to be followed for government operation. This includes conformity to national and international fleet standards, control on the levels of GHG emissions, driver behavior standards, the safe and timely delivery of goods and the disposal of obsolete fleet vehicles according to a designated schedule.

The government fleet agencies use modern advanced technologies to ensure that the goods are picked up from the manufacturer's specified place and delivered to the receiver in a safe condition. They also use state-of-the-art Global Positioning System (GPS) technology for ascertaining the whereabouts of the goods and fleet vehicles. Radio-based and mobile-based technologies may also be used to ascertain the location of fleet vehicles and goods.

GPS technology proves to be a handy tool for suggesting alternate routes and reroutes in the case of traffic congestion. It also helps in providing timely support and assistance to the fleet vehicle, support staff and its occupants with an aim to ensure the safety of the vehicle as well as of the goods.

Government fleet agencies play a leading role in framing fleet standards. They offer tremendous fleet services at an economical cost with built in safety and reliability.
