Fleet Logistics Appoints New CEO

Steffen Schick has been appointed as the new CEO of the Fleet Logistics Group, Europe's largest independent fleet management company.

He takes over the reins of the company from current Chief Financial Officer, Michael Beck, who had also held the position of interim CEO since March 2019.

"With Steffen Schick, we found a leader for Fleet Logistics who has extensive expertise in the automotive industry and in fleet management. The brand neutrality of the vehicle portfolio and the independence from leasing companies should continue to be the most important cornerstones of the corporate strategy," explains Patrick Fruth, Head of the Auto Service Division at TÜV SÜD.

Is Right-Sizing Your Fleet All That Important? The Answer is Yes and Here’s Why

By Ed Smith, President, Agile Fleet

AAA: EV Yearly Operating Costs $600 Higher than Gas-Powered Counterpart

AAA Newsroom

New research from AAA finds that over five years and 75,000 miles of driving, the annual cost of owning a new compact electric vehicle is only slightly more expensive – about $600 annually – than its gas-powered counterpart.

The study also revealed that the experience of owning an electric vehicle eases one of the biggest fears associated with these cars – range anxiety.

AAA believes that if consumers have a better understanding of the real cost and experience of owning an electric vehicle, then the gap between expressed interest and adoption will begin to close.

The modern automaker, Rivian is dedicated to producing only electric vehicles and bought the Normal, Illinois plant from Mitsubishi in 2017 for $16 million and is preparing it to make an interesting assortment of vehicles.
