State fleet lease contract outlines 4,113 vehicles and monthly service fees

A four-year leasing contract has been secured for up to 4,113 vehicles to be used by MÁV Group and Magyar Közút, sourced from Mercarius Fleet Management. The fleet includes a variety of makes, with Volkswagen models dominating the count, followed by Skoda, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, Suzuki, Seat and Ford. Monthly fees are set per model, with executive-level cars costing the most and compact models the least.

The contract also features a substantial number of fully electric cars, though many of the listed quantities are optional rather than guaranteed deliveries. Optional extras such as tow hooks and roof-rack systems add further expense. Leasing experts warn that evaluating the deal solely on monthly fees may overlook risks like residual value and potential model defects.
