If you’ve got one minute, you’ve got what you need to stay plugged into the fleet conversations shaping 2026. Let’s jump into what fleets are already planning around in our Weekly Cheat Sheet.
Fuel is no longer just a line item. Heading into 2026, it’s a strategic decision. Alternative fuels are gaining traction, with renewable natural gas and CNG moving into more practical fleet discussions. Propane autogas continues to offer a steady, cost-predictable option. Hydrogen remains on the horizon, but infrastructure and OEM support point to a longer-term play. And diesel? Still very much in the driver’s seat for long routes, heavy payloads, and demanding vocational work.
Another shift fleets are paying attention to is yard operations. In 2026, yards are no longer treated as just a site issue. Fleets are increasingly viewing them as a critical part of safety, efficiency, and uptime strategies.
This week also brought a moment of reflection for the Work Truck community as we honored the life and legacy of Susan Hipp, executive director of NETS. Her impact on fleet safety and advocacy will not be forgotten.
And one more thing worth watching. Work Truck announced its 2026 award finalists, spotlighting standout upfits, commercial vans, and medium-duty trucks fleets are relying on right now.
