The rule of thumb has been to replace vehicles before the operating costs trend line starts to exceed that of fixed costs. But what happens when you can’t source replacement vehicles due to order allocation restrictions?

As OEMs move to a new model of controlled allocation systems, we examine how sourcing constraints may continue into 2025-MY ordering and the impact on fleets.
The program is open to individual fleets (business, local councils, and non-government organizations operating a fleet of at least 10 vehicles) as well as to aggregators (fleet management organizations and private business offering fleet leasing arrangements in NSW).
Learn why many fleets are now adopting fleet preservation strategies to overcome the obstacle of sourcing replacement vehicles in this episode of State of the Fleet Industry.
Mike Antich gives his fleet acquisition strategies to follow in order to find the vehicles you need for your fleet in this episode of State of the Fleet Industry.
The limited the availability of replacement units for many fleets is forcing vehicle service lives to be extended. As a result, fleets are implementing “fleet preservation” strategies to mitigate the negative impact of operating higher-mileage vehicles beyond their normal lifecycles.
Because of the difficulties in sourcing vehicles and long lead times during the 2021 model-year, most commercial fleets say they will acquire more vehicles, but concerns linger about product availability.
Learn about the importance of building fleet industry relationships and how to leverage them to your benefit in this episode of State of the Fleet Industry Spotlight.
Fleets are being impacted by a variety of inflationary pressures ranging from higher acquisition prices due to the proliferation of onboard safety equipment, to increased material costs pushing up pricing on parts, upfits, and replacement tires.
Fleet cost-reduction programs typically focus on the asset; however, there’s a limit to how much a fleet manager can modify truck specs without impacting the fleet mission. True cost savings are to be found in areas beyond the asset.
