Dutch term

fleetgegevens

Dutch to English Social Sciences Human Resources
The text talks about a computer programme which manages a HR database (for all kinds of companies), into which the following information can be entered: "opleidingen, vaardigheden en diploma's, familiegegevens, extra verzekeringsgegevens, fleetgegevens en een onbeperkt aantal vrije velden".

What are "fleetgegevens" exactly and what is the English term?

Many thanks!

Naast de verzekeringsgegevens enz., dus ook de gegevens over hun huidige 'company car'.
Ilke Fabritius (asker) Dec 8, 2005:
Company cars (or any other vehicles) are not mentioned anywhere else in the text, so I'm not sure whether fleet refers to cars here...
Van Dale only lists fleet in relation with bulk trade, and that's not the meaning here either, I think. And no Google hits for fleetgegevens at all...

As DutchConnection rightly indicated, the term you're looking for is 'fleet data'. The Dutch text should have read 'vlootgegevens' and refers to the information re the fleet of compancy cars.
