Dutch term or phrase: fleetgegevens
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!

Explanation:
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.

CES Wireless release gateway software API, which enables leading enterprise software developers to integrate their market specific software to a CES Wireless fleet management solution. Vtrak-CONTROL™ was developed to meet the operational and management information requirements of the fleet user, seamlessly integrating enterprise software, a vehicle information device, the global positioning system and wireless communications.
