The latest white paper entitled “Current Electric Vehicle Infrastructure and Fuel Choice for Medium & Heavy Trucks” is now available on the AFLA website. The paper, produced by PHH Arval, provides an overview of the current status of electrically fueled vehicles and the potential for utilizing the technology as an option for powering trucks in the future.

According to the new study, the infrastructure expansion and potential increased company profitability cannot be realized without the following:

1) Demand for more efficient fuel

2) Support from large investors

3) Government incentives to prompt investment

The authors conclude that the private and public sectors have realized the benefits that electric powered vehicles provide are at least enough to warrant an initial investment. The government has shown support by providing incentives and in some cases has placed orders for electric vehicle productions. With the rapid expansion and potential for lower operating costs, the trucking industry will be able to shorten the return on investment period and provide the public with environmental benefits such as cleaner air.

Turning Connected Vehicle Data Into Decisions That Matter

Fleet leaders have more data than ever, but turning that data into clear, actionable decisions remains a challenge. This white paper shows how leading organizations are using connected vehicle data to improve safety, reduce costs, and optimize fleet performance. Learn how to turn insight into action across your fleet.

Are You Tracking Your Fleet's True Total Cost of Ownership?

Bobit Business Media surveyed 190 fleet professionals and found that while most fleets are tracking costs, fragmented systems and data gaps are keeping true TCO visibility out of reach. With rising pressure to control spend in an increasingly volatile environment, the gap between what fleets think they know and what the data actually shows is wider than you might expect. See how your peers are managing costs today and where the industry still has room to improve.
