description The possession of adequate vehicles for the transport of people and load is a prerequisite for successful execution of the transport tasks in the Armed Forces because the unification of transport needs reduces costs. The paper presents concrete examples for the selection of vehicles, and it is suggested to renew the car stock by the vehicle category - wagon with double cab (road vehicle). Furthermore, technical and scientific research methods have been implemented and used, as well as the practical implementation of the program in Microsoft EXCEL developed by the author of this paper, and they are based on all mathematical rules that define TOPSIS, that is PROMETHEE method of multiple-criteria decision-making used for vehicle selection. According to their implementation, the results have been obtained regarding vehicle selection - a unique first-ranked solution using both methods of multiple-criteria decisionmaking, and a special emphasis has been placed in the cases of changing the value of the attribute, which also confirmed the change in the alternative ranking - the decision itself, and it has confirmed the expected results that the solution depends, above all, on the decision-makers themselves. There are limitations in this paper related to a set of alternatives. Namely, only four car manufacturers in the Republic of Serbia market the requested model, and a set of criteria is limited to five, but not strictly, since the decisionmaker always has the possibility of expanding them. The implication is dedicated to the description of the problem itself - why it is necessary to renew wagon with double cab (road vehicle). Moreover, the best selection using TOPSIS and PROMETHEE methods has been defined. .
