The national average gasoline price started out 2015 the way it ended 2014 — by continuing its decline. The price fell 8.5 cents to $2.214 for the week ending Jan. 5.
The decline mirrored a fall in oil futures on Jan. 5 that brought light, sweet crude for February delivery to a 5-½ year low of $50.04 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Retail gasoline has been steadily falling since late June and is now $1.118 lower than it a year ago, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

Departmentally assigned vehicles often create hidden costs through underutilization, poor visibility, and increased administrative burden. This white paper explores how shared motor pool strategies help fleets reduce costs, improve accountability, and optimize vehicle utilization.
AI-powered inspections are transforming last-mile fleets by replacing manual checks with highly accurate automated scans that detect defects in seconds. By giving fleet operations visibility into the daily condition of their vehicles, you can identify trends over the vehicle’s lifecycle that enable improved procurement decisions, route management, driver training and accountability.
AI is moving beyond the back office and into the driver’s seat of work truck and field service operations. New research shows fleets are using AI to improve predictive maintenance, optimize dispatch and routing, reduce downtime, and boost technician productivity, while also tackling challenges around workforce adoption and data readiness. Discover the trends, technologies, and real-world use cases shaping the future of connected work truck fleets.
