Vehicle Acquisition

New Vehicle Acceptance

When a new vehicle arrives, it should be thoroughly inspected concurrently by the CTO and a representative of the using department to verify that it conforms to the purchase specifications. Discrepancies should be noted and reported to the proper office. If possible, the vehicle should be test driven and special equipment should be test operated by a trained operator. Arrangements should be made for operator training if appropriate.
