Last year, nine new members were inducted into the Fleet Hall of Fame in a special ceremony at the Automotive Fleet & Leasing Association's (AFLA) annual meeting.

Marking the third year of this recognition program, eight inductees will be selected for 2010. Read bios of the 26 nominees for the 2010 Fleet Hall of Fame.

Additional inductees will be installed in the Fleet Hall of Fame with one less honoree each year, until three are installed in 2015. Thereafter, three honorees will be inducted in the Fleet Hall of Fame annually.
