What is grey fleet management?
The grey fleet management means those employees who use their car for business purpose and they take a large risk in this way. The employees don’t take steps to ensure their safety. The grey fleet management happens when the drivers are not eligible to drive the company car. In such cases the employees use their own car for business journey. The employees have limited knowledge about the safety rules. The grey fleet management can be more beneficial for the business but sometimes they don’t manage the mileage and car maintenance.
Most of the organizations allow their staff to use their own car for business travel. In such condition the employer should check whether the car is fit for such purpose or not. The employee should have a valid driving license. The grey fleet vehicle will become older and create higher emission than daily rent vehicles. So the green fleet management should take it seriously at the impact of grey fleet vehicle. There are lots of risks related with grey fleet vehicle because they are mainly used for company travel. The grey fleet vehicle is not supplied by a company so it is the responsibility of fleet manager to manage the safety of the vehicle.
