Cox Automotive announced the launch of Cox Fleet, its new fleet brand, marking a milestone in the company’s involvement in the trucking and fleet industry. Cox Fleet aims to keep vehicles moving, businesses running, and supply chains on track.
The launch of Cox Fleet builds on Cox Automotive’s 2025 announcement to unite Fleet Services and FleetNet America into one unified organization. Under a single brand, Cox Fleet brings together industry-recognized capabilities at a national scale and decades of operational expertise.
“Cox Fleet is a clear signal of our long-term commitment to the fleets that keep our economy moving,” said Patrick Brennan, SVP of Cox Fleet. “By bringing our people, technology, and service capabilities together under one brand, Cox Fleet is designed to help clients improve uptime and better manage total cost of ownership.”
Built to Deliver Uptime
Cox Fleet supports fleets of all sizes nationwide with a service model that minimizes downtime and maintains reliability. The organization offers a national scale with local accountability, serving:
A marketplace of more than 65,000 service providers.
More than 1,500+ Cox Fleet technicians are providing service.
A 24/7/365 nationwide support team coordinating service events
This combination enables Cox Fleet to deliver scheduled maintenance, emergency roadside assistance, managed care, parts, and sales of trailers and truck bodies, among other services.
“We tremendously appreciate how Cox Fleet puts technicians on our yard, supporting our trucks and our drivers,” said Douglas Nunnally, transportation manager at Gourmet Foods International. “Cox Fleet takes on the responsibility of maintaining our vehicles on the road and at our facility.”
“For 128 years, our Cox family business led through many eras of innovation, from its humble beginnings as a newspaper business in Ohio, to nationwide broadcast and telecommunications to Manheim auctions and digital car buying through Autotrader,” said Joe George, president of Cox Automotive Mobility Solutions.
Cox Fleet reflects Cox Automotive’s roots in the marketplace and its role in the fleet maintenance industry.
