Fleets Fear Sourcing Constraints Will Continue Beyond 2023 into CY-2024

In Automotive Fleet’s 114th video episode of State of the Fleet Industry, gain insight into the state of the fleet market as presented by AF Editor Mike Antich.

🎙Topics include:

• Examined is the transition by most OEMs to an allocation system designed to manage the acquisitions of their products by their fleet customers.
• The implementation of controlled allocation systems is a significant development because it is truly a historic milestone that has never happened before in the history of fleet ordering.
• Sourcing constraints could theoretically continue into the 2025 model-year due to the large industry-wide pent-up demand of unfilled canceled orders carried over to the next model year.
• An economic recession could accelerate the increase in fleet allocation by dampening retail demand for new vehicles.
