General Tab

The General tab records basic information about a vehicle. These fields may include the operator of the vehicle and their email address, the department that uses the vehicle, the year the vehicle was made, VIN, license plate number, fuel type, fuel tank size, oil type, engine oil quantity, and whether the vehicle uses an hourmeter or odometer. Identify a low or high priority vehicle. A high priority vehicle would be one that is in high demand, such as an emergency vehicle or fire truck.
