Automotive Fleet\u00a0views itself as a facilitator to provide a platform for different voices from the industry to sound-off on today\u2019s challenges. This regular column is designed to encourage discourse for fleet professionals to let their voices be heard to their peers and other industry professionals.\u00a0Here is what is top of mind for fleet professionals concerning vehicle remarketing, electrification, and fuel management:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Fuel Spend Reduction<\/span><\/h2>\n

Fuel spend is on the increase. The article entitled \u201cAsset & Driver Strategies to Reduce Fuel Spend\u201d that was published in the May 2021 issue of Automotive Fleet has been \u00a0a great source to learn ways to reduce fuel spend. I\u2019m a big believer in safety and by reducing speed, distracted driving, idling are just a few ways to minimize cost and unanticipated expenses.<\/span><\/p>\n

There is a limit as to how much fuel savings a fleet can wring from the types of vehicles acquired without impacting the fleet application. One of the best ways to control fuel expenditures is to control driver behavior.\u00a0The way employees drive their company vehicles can either increase or decrease fuel economy and greenhouse gas\u00a0 emissions. If you change the driving behavior of employees, you have a direct impact on the amount of fuel consumed and the amount of emissions emitted. Even small increases in mpg can result in substantial savings when extrapolated across the entire fleet. \u00a0— Editor<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Many Unanswered Questions about Electrification Costs<\/span><\/h2>\n

My compliments on your online session regarding the challenges to electrification, which was presented during the 2021 Global Fleet Experience virtual conference. Your two questions regarding resale and TCO\/ROI were actually rattling around in my head as I was listening.\u00a0 You could have been reading my mind! \u00a0I suspect the resale of early adopted electric vehicles will be more of a challenge than we may realize.<\/span><\/p>\n
