Fleet management 

Unique and innovative solutions

We work with our partners from the procurement of the most appropriate vehicles all the way to replacement at end of vehicle life. Built over 30 years of experience in managing vehicles across Africa, our solutions founded on three core principles:

Preventive maintenance

Riders’ preventive maintenance system avoids vehicle failure by replacing parts before they break! Our system keeps fleets running, in good condition, for the duration of their intended lifetime. We run central workshops as well as maintenance outreach with technicians taking their services to where the partner is working, saving time and money.

Rider Training The Gambia

Training of riders and drivers

As important as the maintenance, training is critical in keeping vehicle users safe and optimising the life of the vehicle. We train in defensive driving and basic maintenance checks. Read more about our training service here.

Planning and budgeting

Our pricing models enable partners to manage and budget for on-going running costs. We can also offer advice and support for setting appropriate budgets for the delivery of sustainable health programmes, and for the selection of appropriate vehicles.
