ONLINE disposal firm Ecom Auto Auctions has launched Ecom Direct, offering vehicles from fleet and leasing firms.

The online service is based on a timed online auction, which offers vehicles for bidding for between six and 10 hours, compared to up to seven days for the normal Ecom Auto Auctions service.

To enable the service to operate quickly, experts can be based at the site where vehicles are based to give their opinions on quality to bidders.
