Motor Vehicles

Key findings included:

data in vehicle fleet management information systems were incomplete, and in many instances inaccurate;
most organisations examined could not produce effective operating costs and performance reports on either individual vehicles or their overall fleet;
the government motor vehicle fleet contained vehicles surplus to requirements;
organisations servicing their vehicles incurred substantially higher costs for repairs and maintenance and held vehicles for longer periods which impacted adversely on change-over costs; and
one in three vehicles of the 4,200 operated by the 7 agencies examined was involved in an accident during 1985-86.
