At last it is in the public domain regarding what Fleetnews calls a "Chronic shortage of vans", we've been explaining for months that delivery lead times are up to 4 months for even a 'bog standard' vehicle.
The problem that we've encountered has been that some of our competitors are making false promises of 3-4 weeks, even the direct sales-force of the large leasing companies have been telling porkies! This can understandably be frustrating when we are being honest and upfront with our clients, so much so that we've lost business due to the lies of others in the market!!
Some businesses have been relying on used vehicles - a big no-no in the fleet world. For the sake of a delay in delivery, additional costs of maintenance, reliability and Health & Safety do no make this a viable option.
So please if you are thinking of a new van or vans for your businesss our advice is - get moving!!
