Fleet Advantage released today results of its latest annual benchmarking survey taking the pulse of fleet executives on a variety of industry issues. The online survey, presented to more than 1,000 fleet operators, covered topics such as the outlook for electric and hydrogen fuel-cell trucks; fuel economy trends; and how they view maintenance and repair (M&R), safety and driver retention.
According to the survey results, 40% of respondents listed M&R as their top motivating factor for acquiring new trucks (tops in the last benchmarking survey as well).
