While lightweight materials have many benefits, fleet managers should pause and consider if they’re the right fit before spec’ing them.
While OTD remained relatively static overall, year-over-year, delivery times were still above the industry average benchmark of 60 days. Quality holds and recalls impacted some high-volume fleet models.
Fleets can leverage the total cost of ownership through maximizing their medium-duty trucks’ value by spec’ing for resale.
As John F. Kennedy once said, “History is a relentless master. It has no present, only the past rushing into the future. To try to hold fast is to be swept aside.”
Key factors causing OTD delays were increased vehicle volumes due to continued auto industry sales growth, lengthy quality holds, parts shortages, ongoing railcar shortages, recalls, plant changes, and weather-related issues.
A fleet mainstay for more than several decades, compact pickups appear to be going the way of the dodo thanks, in part, to less expensive and more efficient full-size pickups and utility vehicles.
Increased labor rates, additional in-vehicle technology, and environmental regulations are increasing truck accident costs.
Choosing between gasoline- or diesel-powered trucks requires striking the right balance between performance, fuel efficiency, and budget.
