A vehicle can look great on a spec sheet. Putting it to work is where fleet managers find out whether it delivers.

Which cars, pickup trucks, and SUVs earn their place in your operation? Voting is now open for Automotive Fleet’s 2027 Fleet Car, Truck & SUV of the Year awards, giving corporate and commercial fleet managers the opportunity to recognize the vehicles that meet their needs.

Cast your vote for the 2027 Fleet Vehicle of the Year awards. Voting closes December 31, 2026. As a thank-you for participating, voters will receive early access to Automotive Fleet’s latest fleet vehicle ownership-cost analysis.

Your Fleet Experience Drives the Results

These awards recognize vehicles through the perspective of the people responsible for selecting, managing, and keeping them on the road. Think about the vehicles that help your drivers do their jobs, support your operating goals, and make sense across the ownership cycle.

When making your selections, consider the factors that matter to your fleet:

• Total cost of ownership. Acquisition costs, depreciation, fuel or energy use, maintenance, and overall operating expenses.
• Acquisition and lifecycle needs. Availability, ease of ordering, incentives, replacement timing, and upfit readiness.
• Reliability and service support. Dependability in daily use, warranty coverage, and access to maintenance and repairs.
• Safety and driver experience. Safety features, visibility, comfort, ergonomics, and suitability for the work.
• Technology and connectivity. Tools that support drivers and integrate with fleet operations.
• Sustainability. Powertrain choices, emissions, and how well a vehicle supports your fleet’s operating requirements and goals.
