After it first was developed by Ford for the U.S. market in 2014, the Ford Transit is receiving a slew of updates and upgrades for the 2020 model-year and continues to be a top choice for mobile businesses.
Erin Gilchrist is the fleet director for Safelite AutoGlass. Her fleet management duties are focused on driver safety, sustainability, and efficiency.
A special interest in safety has been one propelling factor throughout Gilchrist’s 11 years in the fleet industry.
A top fleet trend in vehicle glass replacement is self-service scheduling. Nearly 40% of Safelite retail customers scheduled appointments online in 2016, up 10 points from 2015. Most want to do so using their mobile phones.
A compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling vendor has introduced technology it says significantly reduces the cost of installing CNG fueling infrastructure for a time-fill application.
Vehicle spec’ing is a major component of fleet management, and the ability to successfully handle challenges can help make the job a little bit easier for those who manage vans and trucks.
Since fleet management requires working with cross-functional groups, managing millions of dollars of corporate assets, collaborating in complex technology initiatives, and is a key influencer of employee productivity, it is crucial to have a strong in-house fleet manager to coordinate and manage these activities.
Promoting safer, more efficient driving using telematics is just one way the glass repair and replacement company is cutting back on fuel consumption. In three months and with more than 95 percent of the fleet deployed, Safelite AutoGlass reduced consumption by approximately 175,000 gallons.
Safelite AutoGlass has conducted a poll where it asked drivers about basic preventive maintenance. Safelite found that 65% of respondents replace windshield wipers once per year, and 23% replace them every two to three years.
