These specific tasks encompass all operations from vehicle acquisition through maintenance to disposal.

Fleet (vehicle) management can include a range of functions, such as vehicle financing, vehicle maintenance, vehicle telematics (tracking and diagnostics), driver management, speed management, fuel management and health and safety management.

These functions can be dealt with by either an in-house fleet-management department or an outsourced fleet-management provider.

According to market research from the independent analyst firm Berg Insight, the number of fleet management units deployed in commercial fleets in Europe will grow from 3.05 million units at the end of 2012 to 6.40 million in 2017.
