In preparation for the release of the upcoming Global Fleet Market Conditions Q3 2016 digital magazine, here is a recap of the Q1 – Q2 2016 Global Fleet Special Report issue, which reports on the market conditions of Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the U.S.

In case you missed it, here are the reports:

The State of the Australian Commercial Fleet Market: The Australian fleet market is poised to build on 2015 gains. Fleet application, fuel economy, carbon-dioxide emissions, safety, and TCO continue to play important roles in the purchase decision-making process.

Commercial Sales Increase 2.8% in Canada Despite Economic Head winds: As oil prices have dropped, the growth in fleet sales has shifted from the oil-rich provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan to the manufacturing provinces of Ontario and Quebec.

The U.S. Commercial Fleet Market Continues to Be Strong: The commercial fleet market in the U.S. will remain strong well into 2017-CY due to steady growth in the national economy, low fuel prices, and low interest rates.
