In the SAP system, in addition to cars and trucks, the term 'fleet object' also includes buses, trains, commercial vehicles (tow-trucks, deep loading vehicles, cranes, and so on), machinery, ships, airplanes and helicopters. You can also use the fleet functionality to manage containers.

In addition to the normal components of the equipment master record, the following fleet-relevant data is available in the R/3 system:

• Identification data (for example, license plate number, chassis number)

• Measurement data (for example, height, width)
• Transport-relevant data (for example, weight, maximum load weight, maximum load volume)
• Planning data (for example, criteria based on which the fleet object should be replaced)
• Further attributes (for example, fuel card number, key number)
• Engine data (for example, engine type, engine power, number of revolutions per minute, cubic capacity)
• Fuel and lubrication data (for example, fuel type, oil type)
• A customer-defined screen section for your individual fleet data

Fleet management is fully integrated in the Plant Maintenance (PM) and Customer Service (CS) application components.
