What COREFLEET does

Corefleet is a commercial vehicle rental and lease solutions provider headquartered in Welshpool, Western Australia, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sime Darby Motors Group. Founded in the late 1960s, the company has operated for over 50 years serving mining, civil construction, energy, and infrastructure customers across Australia and New Zealand through a branch network that includes Welshpool, Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, and Singleton. Its portfolio comprises short-term rentals, long-term leases, mechanical servicing, site-compliant mine-spec vehicles, civil-spec vehicles, and workforce transport buses, with a vehicle lineup dominated by Toyota (Hilux, Landcruiser 70 Series, Prado, Coaster, Hiace) and Ford (Ranger, Everest) models.

The underlying technology stack centres on three core components: (1) custom mine-spec and civil-spec vehicle fit-outs including ROPS, battery isolators, beacon lights, UHF radios, fire extinguishers, reverse alarms, and site-specific signage configured to meet individual customer compliance requirements (BHP, Rio Tinto, BMA, Fortescue); (2) an IVMS (In-Vehicle Monitoring System) telematics platform providing GPS-based real-time tracking, geofencing, predictive maintenance alerts, and custom dashboards; and (3) a DFMS (Driver Fatigue Monitoring System) using AI-powered cameras and sensors to detect fatigue and distraction, issuing immediate alerts to drivers and fleet managers.

Corefleet makes money through a mix of usage-based short-term rentals, subscription-style long-term leases with included maintenance and compliance, professional mechanical services, and transaction fees such as a fuel recharge policy updated in March 2026. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with the company emphasizing transparent fleet pricing with no hidden fees. The go-to-market is sales-led and enterprise-focused, with named customers including Rio Tinto, Fortescue Metals Group, AGL, Cleanaway, Regional Group Australia, EMM Consulting, and BMA CQ Rescue, supported by a national branch network, a freecall number (1800 636 544), and website-based quote requests.
