In Fleet Spectator, Mark Boada examines why hybrid sedans have not gained traction with fleets. Tricia Stecklair, senior business consultant at Element Fleet, says that until gasoline costs more than $4 a gallon, they likely don’t make sense in terms of TCO. Fleets that do employ hybrids and EVs in spite of the extra cost are paying attention to their carbon footprint.
Here’s a question to corporate America: If Trump refuses to endorse the Paris climate accord, will U.S.-based corporate fleets be less inclined to limit harmful emissions?

We are solidly behind NAFA’s Sustainable Fleet initiatives, offering fleets expert guidance to becoming sustainable. Take a Stand — Be a Leader!
