Fleet Advantage Will Pay 50% Tariff Costs Resulting in $2.5 Million in TCO Savings on a Baseline of 100 Trucks
This comprehensive initiative is designed to help private fleets across various industries address and plan for a complex procurement landscape and avoid significant cost increases projected for 2027. Demonstrating the program’s immediate impact, several large private fleet clients have already pulled forward nearly 50% of their total fleet, resulting in multi-millions in direct cost savings.
The Looming 2027 Cost Cliff
The heavy-duty transportation industry is facing a multitude of regulatory changes and economic shifts. The EPA has officially confirmed it is holding firm on the 2027 NOx Rule, requiring engines to meet a strict 35 mg NOx limit. This mandate, combined with GHG Phase 3 updates and new warranty requirements, is forecasted to drive the cost of a Class 8 tractor up by $8,000 to $15,000 per truck.
Organizations with transportation fleets are facing a tightening "pre-buy" window. While the best time to place orders is now, build slots for late 2026 are already selling out.
Without a multi-year strategic plan, organizations with transportation fleets risk falling into a strict allocation environment where price protection is unavailable, and costs are further impacted by the evolving tariff landscape.
