August 23, 2021Lack of Predictability Fuels Uncertainty
The 69th State of the Fleet Industry video produced by Automotive Fleet offers an updated look at the state of the fleet market as presented by Automotive Fleet Editor Mike Antich.
Today's topics include:
The biggest impact of the COVID-19 is that it has created a business environment that lacks predictability, which has created a feeling of industry-wide certainty.

The 2022 order banks for all OEMs are very healthy as most fleets have heeded the advice to place their 2022 model-year orders early.

Although only at the beginning of the 2022 ordering cycle, several models have already been built out for the entire model-year.

Fleet managers need to get ahead of the curve beyond 2022 and look more long-term to their needs in the 2023 model-year.

August 04, 2021State of the Used-Vehicle Market and 2022 Forecast
The Spotlight on the State of the Fleet Industry video produced by Automotive Fleet interviews Alex Yurchenko, senior VP, data sciences for Black on the state of the wholesale used-vehicle market.
Today's topics include:
Resale prices peaked at end of June 2021 and have started to soften due to a softening in consumer demand caused by the higher used-vehicle prices.

Despite softening of resale values, prices continue to be strong due to the limited inventory of used vehicles in the wholesale market.

Trucks and SUVs continue to produce exceptionally strong resale values, but sedans have been over-performing in the wholesale market. Truck and SUV availability constraints have buyers looking to sedans as an alternate vehicle of choice.

The forecast is for strong resale values to continue into the 2022 calendar year.
