Managing a local authority fleet relies on a single platform that can track two very different families of assets: administrative service vehicles and technical machinery (refuse trucks, sweepers, grounds maintenance equipment). The tool centralises actual mileage, cost per vehicle, servicing, machinery location and utilisation rates. It then serves three purposes: rationalising the fleet, justifying public spending and meeting greening obligations. Fleeti brings these functions together where conventional software separates administration from field telematics.

In France, local authorities and their public bodies must include a growing share of low-emission vehicles when replacing their light vehicle fleet. The Environmental Code (article L224-7 et seq.) and the mobility orientation law set the timeline: 20% in 2024, 40% in 2027 and 70% in 2030. This greening is reported annually, before 30 September, on a public platform. Fleet management software helps identify which vehicles to replace first and gather the data needed for this declaration.

Yes, and that is the main benefit for a local authority. A service vehicle is managed mainly by mileage, costs and assignment, while a refuse truck or sweeper is managed by engine hours, round tracking and fuel use. Fleeti handles both on the same platform, so you do not need separate car fleet and machinery telematics tools. The authority gets a consolidated view of its entire fleet, from administrative cars to street cleaning machinery.

Car sharing means providing a self-service pool of vehicles shared between staff, rather than assigning a car to each department. It starts with an assessment of actual use to spot idle vehicles, continues by pooling under-used vehicles with a booking system, and is managed over time by adjusting the pool size. According to ADEME, one shared vehicle can replace 5 to 8 private cars. The Essonne departmental council, for example, optimised a fleet of more than 600 vehicles this way.

Yes, under conditions. Tracking a local authority's vehicles is lawful if it has a legitimate purpose (safety, round optimisation, proof of service), staff are informed and the system follows CNIL recommendations, particularly the option to switch tracking off outside working hours. Fleeti secures this data to the expected level and follows industry-standard practices. The data concerns vehicles and the fleet, not individual monitoring of staff.

Yes. Fleeti centralises vehicles and machinery spread across several municipalities, departments or sites of an inter-municipal body on a single platform. Each entity keeps visibility over its own fleet, while the shared management gets a consolidated view of costs, use and greening. This multi-entity approach makes it easier to pool resources between member municipalities, harmonise practices and feed public accounts (M57) with reliable data. It also applies to groups of local authorities and public agencies in France and Africa.
