SUBTITLE: TURNING TO REFURBISHING AS A MEANS TO EXTEND THE LIFE OF A FLEET VEHICLE IS NOT A NEW CONCEPT.

NOW, ACCEPTANCE OF THIS TREND SEEMS TO BE GAINING MOMENTUM WITH THE FLEETS OF LIGHT-DUTY TRUCKS AND AUTOMOBILES MANAGED BY NAFA MEMBERS, ESPCIALLY WITH THOSE IN GOVERNMENT AND PUBLIC UTILITIES.
