FLEET maintenance for Elf Atochem's 90-vehicle fleet has been outsourced to Fleet Cost Management. The move follows a review of the chemical giant's fleet strategy aimed at improving cost control. This resulted in the decision to outsource in order to benefit from specialist expertise.

Elf Atochem's fleet is made up of mainly Vauxhall, Ford and Rover cars, which are purchased outright. These are used by sales managers, business managers, directors and technical service managers.
