Companies of all industries and sizes, private and public, commercial facilities, commercial and service companies are dependent on its services in General to vehicles requiring professional management control, which is even more important, the greater a company’s vehicle fleet. Managers who exert this function, are called hence fleet operators, fleet manager or the like. The hierarchical classification is inconsistently regulated. (Source: Jonah Bloom). Often, this function belongs to the facility management, which ensures the necessary mobility in addition to functioning real estate fundamentals for the purpose of the undertaking. Only from the size of a fleet of over 200 vehicles are concentrated functions to meet company on pure fleet management.

Importance of fleets for the automobile market in Germany there are approximately 1.2 million fleets, which include a car and wagon inventory of over 4 million vehicles. Adjusted for approvals Manufacturers and trade, as well as car rental, so-called real company cars are now the by far the largest group of demand in the market.
