• Abandoned vehicles

The successful service provider will also be required to provide a secure facility for the storage of all towed vehicles. The scope includes a wide range of vehicles, including cars and SUVs, electric and hydrogen-powered vehicles, motorcycles and mopeds, caravans, campervans and trailers, trucks, buses and other heavy vehicles, as well as damaged, burnt-out and non-roadworthy vehicles.
