A MEASURE OF FLEETS’ KNOWLEDGE, USE, AND PLANS RELATING TO NEW TECHNOLOGY

PART I: ALTERNATIVE POWER

The pace of new technology incorporated into the designs of trucks and trailers has accelerated at a dramatic rate over the past several years. What technologies and innovations will become standard? How will the market respond, what are fleets looking to include in future truck and trailer purchases and most importantly when?

According to our latest fleet survey, alternative powered vehicles represent a small portion of the current Class 6-8 truck and school bus population. But change is coming, and has become increasingly more important to better understand fleets’ future plans, including when and if they purchase.

This new report defines fleets’ actual steps and activities taken (or not taken) in their evaluation and consideration of new technologies. In addition, this study probes to understand fleets’ awareness of technologies and providers of new products (and related products).          

The initial study addresses alternative power for medium and heavy duty trucks and school buses, and provides a base for future updates.

This study is based on a large scale survey of fleets of different vocations, vehicle classes, fleet sizes and regions of the country.

If your company needs a better understanding of where fleets are in their potential purchase of these technologies, other than hearing a couple opinions at a conference or in a industry article, please consider our Technology Monitor Report.
