Wheels Introduces New Reimbursement Program
Wheels, Inc. has become the first fleet management company to offer a comprehensive reimbursement solution to its clients.
“Many of our clients have varying transportation and driver needs in their fleet – leasing may work best in some applications, while reimbursement may work better in others.
"Seasonal work, medical exceptions, new hires, startup initiatives, low mileage drivers, cultural issues or acquisition of a company with an existing reimbursement program are some of the reasons we’ve found clients may choose reimbursement for a segment of their employees,” said Dan Frank, president of Wheels.
“The Wheels Reimbursement Program allows clients to provide the optimal solution for each employee and is at the forefront of industry-leading innovation.”

The Kochs Are Plotting A Multimillion-Dollar Assault On Electric Vehicles
The oil and gas industry may have thought it had killed the electric car, but sales -- boosted by generous government subsidies -- rose dramatically between 2010 and 2014, and energy giants are worried the thing may have come back to life.
Time to kill it again.
A new group that's being cobbled together with fossil fuel backing hopes to spend about $10 million dollars per year to boost petroleum-based transportation fuels and attack government subsidies for electric vehicles, according to refining industry sources familiar with the plan. A Koch Industries board member and a veteran Washington energy lobbyist are working quietly to fund and launch the new advocacy outfit.
Car-Munching Potholes are Putting us in a $3 Billion-a-Year Fix
Taxpayers are left holding the bill for car damage and road repairs.
How to fund America’s crumbling infrastructure has been a recurring theme in the 2016 presidential election, but the most obvious (and irritating) sign of that is already costing taxpayers.
Pothole damage has cost U.S. drivers $15 billion in vehicle repairs over the last five years, or approximately $3 billion annually, a new study from the American Automobile Association concluded.
With two-thirds of Americans concerned about potholes on local roadways, according to the study, the organization cautions drivers to remain on high alert to potholes on their regular routes — often easier said than done — and urges state and local governments to fully fund and prioritize road maintenance.
Volvo Plans To Be First Automaker To Go Fully ‘Keyless’
Volvo just announced a move that should come as welcome news to those who habitually misplace their car keys.
That’s because it wants to be the first automaker to eschew physical keys and/or a remote key fob altogether, perhaps as early as 2017. In their place the company would offer new-vehicle owners access to their autos via a smartphone app and Bluetooth wireless technology; they’d also be able to open the trunk and start the car remotely as well.
Using an app to unlock one’s car is not exactly a new idea, but other automakers employ it as a secondary, and not primary avenue for access. For technophobes and others married to the status quo, Volvo says it will continue to offer a physical key fob to customers who request it.
