for claiming depreciation;
the asset should be owned by the assessee &
the asset should be put into use for the purpose of business or profession.
Hence the vehicle in your case should be owned by the company.
The ‘assessee’ (for depreciation purposes) is the person who owns the property in question and who is being assessed and the depreciation is to be based on the original cost of such property to such person - CIT v. Buckingham & Carnatic Co. Ltd. [1935] 3 ITR 384 (PC).
some more case laws relevant to this are also available
