Motus Corporation, a member of the Imperial group, has joined forces with Southern Palace Group in order to create a new business in the fleet industry 58Fleet. The name comes from the 58 stars that travellers have used for navigation.


The majority black-owned company - backed by major shareholders Southern Palace and Motus - boasts a service offering including full maintenance leases, managed maintenance, operating rentals, sale-and-leaseback and short-term rentals.


“Through our shareholders, we have access to the whole value chain,” explains Quinten Indarjith, Chief Operating Officer. “58Fleet is backed by the largest network representing every brand and offers great prices for vehicles, at competitive discounts, accurate residual values and is supported by one of the largest contract maintenance and warranty providers in South Africa.”


The company will operate across all business sectors and across various organisaional sizes, including light to heavy industrial vehicles, medium commercial vehicles and passenger vehicles. “We do not see ourselves as fitting into the highly commoditised fleet market,” says Tsietsi Nkoba, New Business Development Executive. “We focus on providing a full fleet management service solution through a living partnership with our customers. Our product-offering is dynamic and flexible because we develop our products with our customers in mind.”


The service level agreement management system, 58SLAM offers real-time, advanced reporting, along with precise performance and metric results with hands-on management in customers’ fleet’s efficiency. The system captures, configures, measures, reports and maintains detailed data on accidents, deal life summary, deal finance performance, e-Toll, fines, live tracking between supplier and client and maintenance.


“We look forward to the future developments of 58Fleet,” continues Indarjith. “With our strong customer-focus and commitment to constant innovation such as effective data management through technology, telematic solutions and our wealth of partnerships, 58Fleet is sure to make a lasting impact on the fleet industry.”
