Hi Fleet Professional,

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the fleet world as we’ve known it. Chances are, your fleet utilization is lower than normal during these troubling times. And, although fleet utilization dropped off rather abruptly in March of 2020, utilization likely will not turn on as if a light switch was flipped. The result could be tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of leases or other fleet costs sitting in your parking lots.

How you deal with the re-opening of your fleet and your business will likely dictate how you right-size your fleet. Technology and changes in fleet procedures can be used to reduce the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and help fleets react as the United States starts to re-open for business. For an in-depth look at this issue, download this new e-book created by the experts at Agile Fleet that addresses the pandemic fleet environment, including:

• Reducing costs and right-sizing the fleet – consider how to adjust to altered fleet use during and after the closing of your fleet
• How to modify vehicle use processes, cleaning protocols, and other safety precautions
• Managing the fleet from home – how to serve the needs of fleet drivers while fleet staff work remotely
• Fleet policy changes – how to deal with violations of fleet policy (e.g. utilization rates) and alter your fleet policies as a result of the pandemic
• Contact tracing – tracing who may have had contact with a vehicle used by a driver that has tested positive

Don't miss out on this free resource. We hope you find the insights valuable. And, as always, if our fleet experts can be of assistance in assessing your fleet's utilization, please give us a call.

Sincerely,
