The demand for specialist vehicle design and modification is
strong.
For example, the division provides design and modification services
for a mobile command unit used in major emergency situations
by the Fire Services Department (FSD). It has also procured
a whole new fleet of FSD ambulance motorcycles and Police motorcycles,
scheduled for delivery in 2001/02.
To increase the stability of its business, the division has
entered into long-term service agreements with a number of clients
such as the
Post Office and Fire Services Department. Service quality and
prices
are constantly reviewed to ensure that they are on par with
comparable service providers in the market.
When Phase four of the EMSTF's untying programme takes place
in August 2002, all the division's clients will be given the
choice to opt for competing suppliers in the market. To prepare
for a total opening up
of the market, the division is committed to an on-going programme
of productivity enhancement, cost control, staff re-training
and skills enhancement. Now two years into the EMSTF "untying"
programme, client departments have come to recognise the value,
reliability and integrity of the services provided by this division.
It is in this context that the Vehicle Engineering Division
will continue to improve and strengthen its unique role in serving
the public sector vehicle fleet. |
