The dealer I trained at was a taxi service dealer until the late 70.s. Many other fleet operators use their vehicles far more than taxi operators. lot of fleet have pool vehicles-internal emergency transport vehicles that get abused by low skilled drivers and end up at auction as bargins or back on to car dealer lots after a rebuild.
Newcastle when I started had a fleet of HJ-HZ on LPG or diesel. Local rule changed early 80's to limit the age of this fleet. The XD-XF falcon running lpg then VN/VP 3.8. Photos from 1974 flood in Newcastle show taxi ranks full of XY/XW HT/HG and early hemi valiant. Friends of mine in the business had holden due to the service cost. The engine wear wasn't an issue, as they could purchase holden motor or a painted trimmed body shell cheap. AT tech the mechanical ssection had many industrial holden motors removed from scraped HJ fleet that was no longer street legal.
