BRENTWOOD, ESSEX – Ford has won Fleet Manufacturer of the Year at the 2008 Fleet World awards, repeating last year's success. Honors also went to the new Ford Kuga crossover and to the Ford S-MAX. The Fleet World awards are presented annually to manufacturers achieving the highest possible level of excellence in their sector.

"Ford continues to lead the way, both in terms of quantity and quality," said Fleet World Editor Ken Rogers. "It is easy to see why Ford's fleet sales have remained so high when you look at the tremendous range of cars they now offer. But take nothing away from the company's impressive fleet support operations, from driver contact through the talkback program, to after sales and field support. Ford has a fleet operation to be proud of."

Ford's new crossover model, the Kuga, won Best 4x4. The award for Best Large MPV went to the Ford S-MAX.

Migration to 4-Cylinder Engines Continues with 2010-MY Ordering

By Mike Antich
The ongoing volatility of gasoline prices has prompted a growing number of fleets to transition to four-cylinder engines. This transition started in the 2008-MY and accelerated with 2009-MY ordering, when gas prices surpassed $4 per gallon in the summer of 2008. Early indications are that the migration to four-cylinder engines will continue with 2010-MY ordering. We have already seen glimpses of this trend in the 2010 RFPs submitted to major OEMs.
