David Prusinski, co-CEO of Vehicle Management Systems (VMS), formerly known as EVAI, will headline a forward-looking session at the 2025 Fleet Forward Conference exploring how fleet leaders are adopting generative AI tools to improve decision-making, operations, and efficiency.

The seminar — “Survey Results: How Fleet Leaders Are Adopting (and Struggling With) Generative AI” — will take place on Wednesday, Oct. 22, from 3:15 to 4:00 p.m. Charlie Vogelheim is moderating.

Prusinski will share findings from a recent industry survey that measured fleet leaders’ understanding, adoption, and trust in generative AI tools. The results reveal a fast-evolving landscape:

More than 40% of fleets are exploring or testing GPT-style interfaces for operational analysis.

Integration complexity, accuracy, and data security remain the top barriers to adoption.

Early adopters report efficiency gains of 8–15%, particularly in TCO analysis, route optimization, and vehicle health monitoring.

The session will explore how GPT-style interfaces compare to traditional dashboards, where fleets are seeing real ROI, and how AI may redefine the role and skill set of the modern fleet manager.
