NAFA Fleet Management Association (NAFA), the vehicle fleet industry’s largest membership association, just announced Fleetio as the winner of its 2026 Innovations Showcase at its annual 2026 Institute & Expo (I&E) in Cleveland.
Fleetio was among 10 companies to present their product launches and innovations in front of I&E attendees during the fleet industry’s premier event for corporate and government fleet professionals. More than 1,000 votes were cast during the two days of presentations.
Through the People’s Choice Award, I&E attendees voted for their favorite innovation.
The award was presented to Fleetio for its AI Service Advisor, which draws on more than a decade of fleet service data – combined with each fleet’s operational context – to automatically triage issues and guide maintenance approvals so vehicles spend less time waiting in the shop.
“NAFA is proud to celebrate the ingenuity and forward-thinking of Fleetio, whose innovative solution reflects the future of fleet management,” said Bill Schankel, CAE, CEO of NAFA. “All the companies that took part in the 2026 Innovations Showcase exemplify the spirit of progress in our industry, and Fleetio’s new product stands out as a true game-changer in improving fleet operations and driving efficiency and safety.”
Fleetio presented its product alongside nine other companies within the industry: Self Inspection, Collective Data, Chevin Fleet Solutions, Samsara, Motorq, Madico, Motive, Geotab, and Fleetrock.
NAFA’s annual I&E brings together corporate and government fleet managers and industry professionals from all across the industry for education sessions, networking opportunities, and a bustling Expo Floor with new products and services.
