NAFA President Claude Masters, CAFM: "While NAFA has a 'fuel-neutral' philosophy, the Association recognizes that electric vehicles will be a major player in how fleets will get to their carbon footprint goals."

If you like a good pun, and you're interested in a top-flight analysis of the prospects for electric vehicles, you’ll love a comprehensive new report from the Edison Electric Institute, the trade association for investor-owned electric utilities: “Transportation Electrification: Utility Fleets leading the Charge.” Even if you hate puns you’ll want to read it if you are interested in the outlook for electrification -- and if you’re not, you should be. This report makes a strong case that EVs have a promising future.
There are multiple definitions of what it means to be a sustainable fleet, which can be confusing. Thankfully, NAFA has established a standard that fleet managers can benchmark against.
Smart fleets today are building highly successful safety cultures -- and they start by making safety very personal.
Last week, the Johnson County, Iowa, Board of Supervisors approved a proclamation encouraging autonomous vehicle testing as a public safety and economic development initiative.
The proclamation passed unanimously on a 5-0 vote.
“When you consider what’s already available, such as hands-free parking, this technology is utterly amazing,” said Janelle Retting, Johnson County Supervisor. “I’m excited that Johnson County can be on the forefront of testing, innovation, and safety, providing jobs and opportunities for our citizens.”
Are you involved in fleet management, and on the fence about implementing a GPS tracking solution? In a recent study, fleet executives in the United States were asked why they have not implemented GPS tracking to their fleet operations yet. The top three most common reasons identified were lack of budget, the need to do more research, and the belief that it wouldn't help.
