Unlike the light duty segment, most medium and heavy-duty BEVs (battery electric vehicles) available today do not achieve cost parity with internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles over their service lives.

Driven primarily by sustainability goals, government agencies around the country are looking to increase the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) into their fleets. These fleet managers are faced with trying to calculate the total cost of ownership (TCO) with many new factors, which can be daunting.

The Fleet Forward Conference convened once again in person Nov. 10-12 at the Hayes Mansion in San Jose. This year’s agenda had a heavy focus on electrification, particularly with commercial EVs and building infrastructure to support them.

Helping a friend in need is always a great feeling. Using telematics to help a friend locate their stolen vehicle, however, gives one a whole new level of pride.

Maximizing your telematics value is all about the level of effort you put in and being a good bandmate.

When choosing the best telematics system one should consider both the customer experience as well as the robustness of the hardware. There are many great service providers available today and a fleet's best option may vary based on their specific needs.
