Trading entity verifies government vehicle fleet

The Eastern Cape Provincial Government Fleet Trading Entity in collaboration with Fleet Managers from different provincial departments is currently verifying all government vehicles throughout the province.

The objective of this exercise is to verify existence of the fleet leased to all Provincial Government departments. The entity will also verify the condition of each vehicle. Utilization charged by the entity is based on the kilometers travelled hence the teams will also verify speedometer readings on these vehicles.

The exercise started on 01 October 2013 and is expected to be finished on 11 October 2013. All Provincial Departments are urged to avail vehicles in all verification sites. In order not to hamper service delivery, the Entity has identified Emergency Medical Resource Services (EMRS) offices as verification sites. 

As from the 1^st of February 2012, the Eastern Cape Department of Transport took over the management of the provincial fleet function. A new Trading Entity was established within the department with its own bank account.

The government Garage in East London is the “HUB” of the Entity where all the purchasing, preparing and dispatching of the vehicles is done, while Port Elizabeth and Mthatha act as secondary bases for the entity servicing these two districts. Queenstown, Alliwal North and Mt Ayliff have satellite offices based at the Department of Transport offices to service other departments.
