Fleet

No matter what size your business, Grand Motors has the vehicles to drive your business further. And when you team with Grand Motors, as your strategic partner, you'll maximise driver productivity and minimise operating costs. Take a closer look at what Grand Motors Fleet has to offer your business.


Managing your Fleet

Toyota Fleet makes Better Business Sense when managing today's fleet. Apart from offering the range, reliability and value for money fleets need to operate efficiently and cost-effectively, Grand Motors maintains its commitment to fleet operators and the success of their organisation by responding to the many issues facing the fleet operator.

Today's fleet manager is recognised as making a major contribution to corporate performance, with a typical manager responsible for company assets worth $6 million*. Senior management are now recognising the importance of the fleet manager's ability to manage a strategic asset in a difficult environment.

With over 508,000** registered Fleet vehicles per year on Australian roads, companies and organisations face an array of issues which impact on fleet function, including managing for shareholder value, return on investment, driving productivity up while holding operating costs down, delivering high levels of customer service and reliability and managing for growth in competitive markets.

For many years Toyota has seen its role as a strategic partner with its fleet customers and remains committed to responding to the many issues facing Australian fleets.


Wider range

Toyota's broad range means best fleet application fit, enabling standardisation and lower management costs. Toyota offers 144*** Fleet model variants - more than any other make. How does this benefit you? It's more than likely that Grand Motors has the right vehicle, with the right specifications for the job. This helps you minimise wasted resources and maximise your return on investment.


Lower operating costs

Running costs can double the price you pay for a vehicle, and there are many hidden costs, which are revealed when accurate records are kept of all outgoings. Toyota is dedicated to ensuring the lifetime cost of a vehicle is kept low through advanced engine technology which extends performance and efficiency across the range.


Lower maintenance costs

Toyota designs vehicles to be easy and fast to service and maintain. Toyota Extra Care Extended Warranty cover can take the guesswork out of managing unexpected costs and provides an industry leading range of insurance, warranty and roadside assistance products. This is designed to keep your business on the road when a breakdown occurs.High resale value


High Resale Value

Toyota's vehicles have a broad market acceptance and a reputation for retaining their value. The total cost of owning a vehicle isn't known until the last transaction: disposal. If a vehicle fails to retain value, it works against you when negotiating a replacement. If it holds value, you are that far ahead. Toyota's strong, 'whole of life' value proposition is the answer to reducing the total cost of ownership.


Quality and reliability

Toyota has a long-standing reputation for manufacturing excellence and for producing high quality vehicles. Toyota's state-of-the-art Altona plant in Victoria together with Toyota's global manufacturing network has consolidated its status as a car producer of the highest quality. Toyota engineers reliability into its vehicles and therefore increases your Fleet’s reliability and reduces downtime.


Fast parts supply

Toyota's investment in parts supply systems means shorter waiting time for repairs and faster return service. For every day you are without replacement parts, your investment lies stagnant and your people are made idle. Toyota has invested millions to bring you parts when are where you need them, through two technologically advanced vehicle parts distribution centres in Sydney and Melbourne.


Safety

The aim of Toyota is to design all its new vehicles so that they are the safest in their class in the world. Its tests are based on the toughest of both the current, and anticipated, safety standards of Europe, Japan, Australia and the United States. The result is a unique benchmark of safety excellence known as Global Outstanding Assessment, or GOA. This ensures your drivers, passengers and employees are well looked after.


Commitment to the environment

The environmental performance of vehicles is increasingly being incorporated in government and corporate fleet sales purchasing criteria. Toyota is contributing to the development of markets for cleaner vehicles by raising awareness of the environmental impacts of vehicles amongst fleet managers and customers. Toyota is using the environmental performance of its vehicles as a differentiator in fleet tenders and promoting the Yaris, Corolla, Prius, Camry and Aurion as alternatives to other 6-cylinder petrol passenger vehicles.


Fleet Finance

Grand Motors enjoys strong working relationships with Toyota Financial Services, along with other major financing and banking organisations. It offers a range of options for fleet operators, such as Finance lease, operating lease, hire purchase, novated lease and fleet management.


Here for the long run

A significant investment in local manufacturing, component supplies and people is Toyota's commitment to Australian Fleets. In the long term, local manufacture benefits fleet buyers by being close to the source for engineering support and parts supply.
