Fueling a fleet vehicle is simple, right? It takes only a few minutes of your drivers’ time. They just zip up to the pump, swipe their fuel card, fuel their vehicle, and hit the road.
No question, electricity bills in the U.S. have increased substantially, with customers burdened with some of the highest bills they’ve seen in years.

With the benefits electric vehicles (EV) can bring to the bottom line, it’s no surprise that fleet managers are increasingly exploring EV adoption. Beyond reduced carbon emissions, becoming a more eco-friendly fleet can cut operational expenses with no fuel costs, lower maintenance costs, improve efficiency and productivity, and build brand value.
When it comes to operating costs for fleets, what a difference a year makes. In the 2020 calendar year, feet operating costs were lowered, as many fleet vehicles were idled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. That’s hardly the case for 2021, according to findings in Automotive Fleet’s 29th annual operating cost survey. So far this year, fleets have experienced an increase in operating costs in all expense categories across the board.

To keep airport facilities running smoothly, efficiently, and safely, ground support crew and ground support equipment (GSE) must be firing on all cylinders 24/7/365.

With lowering fuel and maintenance costs, compliance with government regulations, and reducing carbon footprint being top priorities for businesses that operate fleets, it’s no wonder that fleet managers are increasingly turning to green fuels to power their fleet vehicles. A 2020 fleet purchasing survey indicated that interest in green fuels is on the rise after remaining relatively flat for the last several years.
