CerebrumX, a leading AI-driven automotive data management company, announced results of a recent industry survey designed to take the pulse of fleet business leaders.
They presented an online survey to more than 2,000 fleet professionals during the last two weeks of November. The survey found that 61.5% of respondents are currently leveraging connected vehicle data.
In terms of leveraging connected vehicle data to reduce costs, the majority of respondents said they are seeing a reduction in insurance costs by 5% - 10%, and more than a third are seeing a reduction in maintenance costs also by 5% - 10%.
"As we navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of the fleet industry, it is imperative for executives to recognize the transformative power of connected vehicle data,” said Sandip Ranjhan, CEO of CerebrumX.
Fleet Management Weekly asked Gina Bonini, VP and GM of Advanced Thermal Systems at Modine, about the challenges of keeping Electric Vehicles (EVs) up and running in wintry weather.
Modine is a company with a long history of automotive thermal management; how did you make the transition from ICE to EV?
Modine has focused on innovation in thermal management from the company’s beginning in 1916, when our founder, Arthur B. Modine, set out to make the perfect radiator. A few years later, in 1925, we scaled up to provide the radiator for the Model T Ford. Fast forward nearly 100 years, and we started to see our customers electrifying, initially with buses, trucks and specialty vehicles.

One-third of Norway's entire car fleet is expected to be zero-emission by 2025
Norway is at the forefront of electrification and just achieved another milestone on its road towards zero-emission transportation.
According to Bloomberg, already 20 percent (or one in five) passenger cars in the country are all-electric. In Norwegian capital Oslo, the share of battery-electric cars (BEV) is even higher at over 33 percent.
In a future where EVs become the norm rather than the exception, public transit agencies will face a range of new variables they will need to juggle.
The transportation sector presents a particularly attractive opportunity to make rapid progress in the fight against climate change through electrification.
