Small fleet of Toyotas to watch traffic

Traffic Surveillance teams are looking to change their current fleet of surveillance vehicles to the compact Toyota IQ. They have more space and are likely to carry more equipment than the current fleet of smart cars currently on the road.

At present the 1 litre version of the iQ is being trialled in Manchester, Devon & Cornwall. The Police like the reliability of the car and it has a great reputation. While long term arrangements are in place for trials. It is likely the whole range of fleet cars will be replaced.

Vauxhall suffer a massive loss in sales of fleet cars

Contracts for fleet cars chanage hands many times but in this case, Vauxhall have lost out big time.

A contract containing around 600 fleet cars has moved from Vauxhall to Hyundai. The contract is a driving school so the students will naturally be taking their lessons and tests in the small Hyundai i20 fleet car. It’s a nice looking hatchback and we feel that students would be quite comfortable driving it. Hyundai are likely to see a large increase in sales of the i20 because a high percentage of students will purchase the car they learnt in.

Vauxhall has claimed that this blow does not impact their sales and they still have many long-standing fleet customers. For Fleet car, van or truck insurance; you can visit broadsure direct at www.broadsuredirect.com/fleet-insurance.htm .
