Powered by a series of game-changing innovations, fleet management software now delivers more accurate and timely data than ever, which in turn is revolutionizing fleet management best practices.
These systems provide real-time monitoring, automated tracking, and integration with existing fleet platforms.
Since FuelCloud integrated with Fleetio last summer, customers have been able to directly compare vehicle operating costs, and in some cases, been able to provide drivers with specific day-to-day fueling instructions that ultimately reduce operating costs.
WEX, the global commerce platform that simplifies the business of running a business of payments, fleet management, and employee benefits, hosted the LinkedIn Live panel discussion, “Navigating Economic and Energy Shifts in a Mixed-Fuel World.”
Industry experts Carlos Carriedo, COO, WEX; Adam Woolway, VP of Global Energy Transition at WEX; Nick Woolley, CEO, ev.energy; and Dr. Jose Serras-Pereira, Director, Global Mobility, Frost & Sullivan, unpacked the toughest questions facing fleet operators.
This conversation emphasized the growing importance of electric vehicles (EV) in the fleet industry, the need for a strategic approach to transitioning to mixed-energy fleets, and the various factors that influence EV adoption decisions.
Highlights included a discussion about how mixed-energy fleets are becoming increasingly common. Fleet operators are transitioning to a mix of EVs, hybrids, and traditional fuel vehicles to optimize cost, sustainability, and operational efficiency.
