Italian term or phrase: beni strumentali fungibili
Part of a leasing agreement:

fungible (operating) assets
Explanation:
fungible is a standard term used in English. This is probably not a main line item on the balance sheet but a sub-item. It is necessary to qualify the type of asset as "fungible assets" alone could be tangible, intangible, monetary, etc.

See the two definitions below. The English definition is extracted from accounting regs.

*** beni fungibili (cioè beni identici anche se acquistati in momenti diversi)

*** "fungible assets" means assets of any description which are substantially indistinguishable from one another

An example related to leasing - Royal Brunei knows that, in the event of a default, Skymark would relinquish the planes, which would then be re-leased. Fungible assets, such as planes, which can be readily reclaimed and redeployed are good candidates for leasing.

Point taken, Alexxx, and well thought out. I assumed this was an entry on a bal. sheet.

Pending input from IT/EN accountants and financial specialists, your motor vehicle explanation now suggests back to: interchangeably generic capital goods.
