“Our judges from the fleet industry purchase and operate thousands of vehicles and their views, together with those of our own writers represent probably the single most valuable source of
information available in the Australian market,” said Chris Mullett, Managing director and publisher of MMMG.

“It is the most comprehensive evaluation completed in the Australian market and consequently it produces information and advice for the buyer that is not available from any other source.

“The collective knowledge of the judges, together with our links to the members of the Australasian Fleet Managers Association and Nat Roads, all of whom receive copies of Delivery Magazine and PowerTorque as part of their membership package, is communicated to all the major fleets as well as smaller operators across the country,” he added.
