It can be tricky for a fleet manager to pitch and sell sustainability initiatives to Senior Management, and it’s important to start by knowing what the top business priorities are for the organization.
Fully autonomous vehicles that drive themselves from point A to B are still in the future, but braking systems that step in to slow or stop a vehicle without the driver’s intervention are here today, and about to become more common.
Automatic braking will eventually make cars safer, reduce injuries and the cost of accidents, but there will be hiccups along the way. They will not prevent all collisions, and they will generate a new category of quality complaints for automakers and vehicle owners.
Despite a slow start, the Ford F-Series pickup line is set to close the books on 2015 on a high note. When final figures are reported tomorrow, the full-size line-up is expected to mark its 39th consecutive year as the nation’s best-selling truck and its 34th year in a row as the top-selling vehicle overall.
The F-Series is expected to maintain a solid lead over its two key rivals, General Motors’ Chevrolet Silverado and the Ram pickup from Fiat Chrysler.
