Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

Half of the MV Commercial rental fleet consists of rigids with box, curtainsider and flatbed bodies, with the rest made up from tractors, temperature-controlled vehicles and its burgeoning truck-crane business, which has grown 200% in the past two years.

Shaw says MV Commercial underwrites its own assets and is willing to sell stock to its customers – if that is what they wish to do.

He intends to replace 300 of the 750-strong fleet within the next two years, and is on the verge of striking two major deals with manufacturers. “We have a lot of 07 to 59-plate vehicles and some 06-plate as well. We are going to have to fleet manage our way out of 40% of the fleet,” he says.
