White fleet (military vehicles)

A white fleet is the non-combat specific vehicles of armed forces. Such vehicles include vans, minibuses, coach buses, touring recruitment vehicles, and staff cars for high-ranking officers.

The term white fleet is used in several countries, including Australia, New Zealand, and UK with reference to fleet management of the defence vehicular assets to distinguish from fighting vehicles and green fleet vehicles.

Australia

As of 2015 Australian Department of Defence white fleet vehicles are leased from SG Fleet under contract. [1]

United Kingdom

The UK Ministry of Defence's white fleet ownership was outsourced in 2001 on a 10-year contract to Lex Defence.[2] The contract through a series of acquisitions now comes under the control of Babcock International.
