Fleet Management

The World Food Programme operates approximately 2.600 light vehicles worldwide, spending around 30 million dollar on overall operating costs annually. Nevertheless, fleet management is still in its infancies. The large WFP fleet of vehicles is not used safely and efficiently. Estimations show that 15% savings on the operating costs are feasible; a great challenge that TNT is more than willing to assist WFP with.

In 2007 various TNT-WFP projects with WFP Dubai took place. The main deliverables of these projects were: a Fleet Management toolkit, two pilot implementations and a Fleet Management business case. Further assistance was given to decide upon the most suitable on-board data-gathering tool as well as the training Road Safety driver trainers.

The focus of the 2008 Fleet Management project will be on implementation and inter-agency cooperation. The Fleet Management toolkit developed and tested in 2007 will be implemented. In Malawi one UN vehicle pool will be established amongst all UN agencies. Further, two smaller projects requested by WFP will be executed: assistance with the FESO website and developing a Fleet Management toolkit for emergencies.
