Shounak Athavale, Ph.D., fleet insights and IT Manager for Ford Research, and Christopher Miotke, practice principal/manager - Big Data & Analytics for Hewlett Packard, will present what they found out about the driving patterns of the Hewlett-Packard fleet and transportation in general after Ford Motor Co. installed data-collection devices into the OBD-II ports of a test group of Hewlett-Packard fleet vehicles in the U.S.

The study is part of Ford's SMART Mobility experiments and is one of 25 research projects worldwide to test new mobility ideas and address the growing transportation challenges being faced across the globe.

Produced by Bobit Business Media and Nexus Communication, the Global Fleet Conference, now in its third year, will be held June 15-16 at the Miami Marriott Biscayne Bay in Miami, Fla.

Cover of a whitepaper titled “The Hidden Costs of Departmentally Assigned Vehicles on Your Fleet” featuring a black fleet vehicle driving on a road at sunset. Subheadline reads: “Discover how your fleet can reduce costs and minimize risk by implementing vehicle sharing.” The document focuses on fleet optimization, vehicle sharing, cost reduction, utilization tracking, and risk management for fleet operations.

Why Fleet Managers Are Replacing Departmental Vehicles with Shared Motor Pools

Departmentally assigned vehicles often create hidden costs through underutilization, poor visibility, and increased administrative burden. This white paper explores how shared motor pool strategies help fleets reduce costs, improve accountability, and optimize vehicle utilization.
