Fleet management in 2024 is taking exciting turns. Fleets are smarter, safer, and more sustainable but still keep the same professionalism. Here is a look at some of the year's most lucrative fleet management trends:
Electric vehicles (EVs) charge ahead
EVs are everywhere, and there will be more in 2024. Fleets are adopting them fast to reduce emissions and save on fuel (although charging isn't free). As a result, charging stations are being installed around cities rapidly, making it easier to keep these vehicles running. To top it off, it also costs less to maintain them.
Data analytics drives decisions
Telematics systems have grown more advanced in recent years. Through them, fleet managers get real-time insights into fuel efficiency, driver behavior, and many other aspects of the fleet's operation. They can then use this newfound knowledge and solid data to make decisions that lead to better routes and happier customers.
Predictive maintenance
Waiting for a breakdown is becoming old news. Instead, the new trend is to predict and prevent. Fleet managers know when a vehicle might need a check-up before it even hints at a problem in an obvious manner, thanks to telematics. Such indispensable knowledge reduces unexpected downtime and keeps the fleet moving without disruptions.
Safety first
Safety tech takes a front seat in 2024. Clever gadgets now alert drivers to potential hazards and monitor for signs of drowsiness to make fleets safer than ever. Naturally, fleet managers must keep drivers alert and alive, so these tools do just that.
Semi-autonomous vehicles
Fully self-driving cars aren't quite the standard yet, but semi-autonomous ones are getting more common. Think of them as an extra set of eyes and hands on the road (but not ready yet to fully replace the driver). These vehicles make every trip safer while still being traditional and without the ethical quandaries of fully self-driving cars.
Software
Fleet management software has received a major upgrade in the last few years. These days, scheduling maintenance, planning the best routes, and much more are part of integrated platforms, not unlike a digital assistant for driving.
Green practices go mainstream
Beyond switching to EVs, fleets are adjusting routes to cut down on unnecessary miles and using eco-friendly materials wherever possible. Every little bit helps cut the fleet's carbon footprint in 2024, a year that's becoming decisive for the environmental predictions of the future.
Better fleets, modern fleets
KTS Enterprise in Phoenix offers comprehensive mobile fleet truck maintenance and repairs catering to client needs, from preventative service to major repairs. Electric vehicles are taking the lead, predictive maintenance is changing how repairs are handled, while safety and sustainability remain priorities. Still, although electric vehicles may be trendy, diesel isn't going away anytime soon, and diesel repair professionals are still on call to tackle issues on traditional vehicles.
