Open-End Leasing – Your Key to Business FlexibilityLeasing allows the business to pay for only the portion of the vehicles they use. This reduces the monthly payment when compared to financing a vehicle where you pay and finance 100% of the vehicle and pay tax on the total price.
Is Your EV Fleet Prepared for a Lithium-ion Battery Fire?When compared to gasoline and hybrid vehicles, electric cars have the lowest number of fires per 100,000 sales. Electric vehicles are powered by lithium-ion batteries and EV fires are typically related to the battery. While electric vehicle fires occur less frequently, they burn longer and hotter than other fires. This is due to a chemical reaction in the battery called thermal runaway.
BEST PRACTICES – MANAGING AN EV FLEETElectric vehicle (EV) fleet management requires a different approach compared to managing a fleet of traditional combustion engine vehicles. Here are some best practices for EV fleet management:
Managing Vehicle Lifecycles in High-Mileage ScenariosWhen it comes to football, vehicle shortages and supply chain interruptions, “The best defense is a strong offense,” says a fleet manager for the Tennant Company. The past year or two has been particularly challenging for fleet managers, so many are finding it necessary to employ a variety of tactics in order to stem losses, delays, or added costs.
Crown’s drivers reduced idling from 70 minutes per day to 7 minutes per day over a few weeks time. Translating these minutes into dollars results in $1,500 – $2,000 dollars in cost savings per month.

Think of the world where there are driverless vehicles. Vehicles could be sent for errands like picking up parts while the technician continues his task, or take the elderly to their appointments, or bringing customers to and from a shopping center.
Use your vehicle to create brand awareness and get the word out about your company. Vehicle wraps are an effective means of outdoor mobile advertising with tens of thousands of daily impressions. Vehicle wraps are designs that typically cover all sides of a vehicle and feature large, easy to read print.
Technology is constantly progressing and it seems to be evolving at the speed of light. Cars, trucks, and buses that operate without a driver behind the steering wheel are coming sooner than we expected and will most definitely change our lives. Computers began as mainframes and a decade later can be worn on a wrist. Technology evolution is rapid and profound and it’s coming to vehicles.
I used to think the Mercedes S-class and others like it was the source of the newest and most innovative technologies. I then realized that is a “yesterday car” as innovative and safety-gadget- laden as it may be, built by a yesterday auto industry OEM attempting to evolve a yesterday car rather than build cars of tomorrow from the ground up. The
It is time for a new wave of technology that promises to change commercial vehicle fleets forever. We’re talking about Autonomous Vehicles (AV). The transformation will be in part on the driverless phenomenon, but also the promises to increase overall productivity, lower the rate of accidents, cut traffic congestion, and reduce emissions in metro areas.
