August 16, 2022Fleet Managers Continue to Struggle with Vehicle Sourcing Uncertainty
The 108th State of the Fleet Industry video produced by Automotive Fleet offers insights into the state of the fleet market as presented by AFEditor Mike Antich.
Today's topics include:
Order-to-delivery times have increased for trucks and vans, which, in turn, has increased demand for long-term rentals, especially when a vocational vehicle is damaged in an accident.

Pricing is another sore point with almost all fleet managers as fleet incentives have decreased.

An ongoing trend is the bundling of related services into the new-vehicle sales prices.

Multi-year vehicle sourcing constraints have caused some companies to reconsider or delay business expansions, especially when the fleet vehicle is the primary revenue-generation tool.

August 09, 2022Geopolitical Friction Exposes Vulnerability of Future Microprocessor Inventories
The 107th State of the Fleet Industry video produced by Automotive Fleet offers insights into the state of the fleet market as presented by AF Editor Mike Antich.
Today's topics include:
The fact that more than half of the global production of microprocessor chips are concentrated in two countries — Taiwan and South Korea —which is a growing concern because people fear that a future China-Taiwan conflict could lead to a catastrophic worldwide semiconductor shortage.

A U.S. Army War College paper recommends a “scorched earth” strategy that calls for the U.S and Taiwan to threaten to destroy the facilities of the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. if China threatens to invade Taiwan.

For the first half of calendar-year 2022, the microchip shortage did improve but it didn’t improve as much as the auto industry expected.

Pat Gelsinger, the CEO of Intel, expects the shortage of semiconductors to continue until calendar-year 2024, which puts us into the 2025 model-year.

July 25, 2022Fleet Managers Have Low Confidence in Getting All Vehicles Ordered in 2023-MY
The 105th State of the Fleet Industry video produced by Automotive Fleet offers insights into the state of the fleet market as presented by AFEditor Mike Antich.
Today's topics include:
Fleet managers need to order more vehicles for the 2023 model-year because of the difficulties in sourcing replacement vehicles in the past two model years.

Ordering constraints due to a controlled allocation system and early closure of order banks due to high order volumes quickly depleting fleet allocation is making fleet managers cynical as to whether they will get all of the vehicles they ordered for the 2023 model-year.

The shortage of fleet vehicles is beginning to impact the hiring practices as some companies where the vehicle is an integral part of an employee’s job.

With higher invoice prices for new vehicles and reduced fleet incentives, some fleets estimate that they have experienced a 5% increase in overall total cost of ownership.
