Motorlease is ringing in June with a special series of events to commemorate its 75th year in business. Find out what you can expect from these free, virtual events in this State of the Fleet Industry Spotlight Interview video.
Ford Pro Charging will provide services to aid in implementing electric vehicle charging through consulting on the design and construction of charging sites, providing software and hardware infrastructure to support energy management, and working with local utilities on energy and infrastructure needs.
With vehicle supply constraints and inflated prices now forecast through 2023, fleet operators are adjusting their duty cycles, fleet plans, and job management.
The answers will dictate site design, energy management considerations, software needs, home charging requirements, and fleet policy updates. Without the proper attention, fleet operators face ballooning and unexpected costs.
To run a profitable last-mile delivery fleet, operators need to act on consumer-driven trends and measure key performance indicators around productivity, customer satisfaction, and revenue and cost.
The virtual conference presented deep dives on how data is fostering intelligent fleets. The seminars, panel discussions, and networking sessions covered connected cars, electrification suitability, OEM-embedded modems, telematics market trends, the rise of third-party data integrators, the migration to 5G, and video telematics.
How efficient is an all-electric Class 6 delivery truck in its regular duty cycle with payloads up to 11,000 lbs.? Weight is less of an EV range inhibitor than you’d think.
Keyless technology combined with telematics is moving beyond traditional carsharing to facilitate in-vehicle deliveries, more automated pickup and return processes, and private carsharing trips with business cars.
Gatik is partnering with Via Motors to deploy an autonomous, electrified box truck on a Ford Transit 350 chassis. The initiative comes as the autonomous technology company prepares to remove its safety driver on a Walmart route.
With BrightDrop, GM is creating a new business to develop the commercial electric vehicle ecosystem. This includes a new electric delivery vehicle and support for infrastructure, logistics, and service planning — as well as an entirely new sales and service network.
Due to the global shortage of semiconductors used in automobiles, OEMs are telling car rental companies to expect “significant delays” with fleet orders. One operator has had a large order canceled outright.
With V2G, your electric fleet vehicles could act as backup energy when the grid goes down, and you may even be compensated for the power they give back. What are we waiting for?
Our test of the new F-150 PowerBoost netted an extraordinary 19.2 average mpg with a 1,732-lb. payload and 25.1 mpg without. Adding PowerBoost’s 12,700 lbs. of max towing, is it blasphemy to finally turn our backs on diesel for true work applications?
