Vehicle specifications were defined by trade type and include standard safety, comfort and connectivity features.

Vehicle customisation includes the installation of metal racking and associated equipment appropriate to individual trades. All vehicles are branded with Two Rivers Housing maintenance livery in accordance with approved designs.

The contract includes the provision of telematics and GPS tracking across the fleet and the ongoing delivery of managed fleet services, including routine servicing, MOT coordination, breakdown and accident support, roadside assistance and the provision of replacement vehicles, operating on a 24/7/365 basis.
