1. Introduction and Context

Following a very successful Fleet 2010 program', Customer is currently initiating a program called Fleet 2017' to ensure Fleet2010 continuity, to further implement the hub/spoke Fleet Centre of Excellence and to drive the next CO2 reduction wave and Eco Driving throughout EMEA.
