Maintenance
In-house versus outsourced maintenance
Twenty percent of fleets do maintenance in-house, 46% use outsourced service providers and 34% use a combination of both.
March 24, 2023
Outsourced fleet maintenance involves hiring a third-party provider to manage these tasks and is often favored by companies with multiple OEM’s, a multi-location footprint, or those leasing their equipment prefer outsourcing.

More candid talk on EVs please

Not our first rodeo. Winter testing of an EV dates back to the 19th century. A United States Postal Service carrier is shown above with a Winton Electric in 1899. Concerns with range and long charge times led USPS to embrace internal combustion. Over 100 years later the agency is working to deploy 66,000 EVs by 2028 making it one of the largest EV fleets in the nation. Here's to hoping that they've clearly thought through range, charging infrastructure and battery lifecycle management.

Best Fleets to Drive For invest in back-office staff, not just drivers
