The State of Fleet Management Directly From the Fleets

A recent Fleetio survey of 600 fleet professionals reveals that rising operating costs and tightening emissions regulations dominate executive concerns, with over half of respondents flagging cost inflation and 46 % citing compliance pressures. While more than 70 % have adopted dedicated maintenance software, manual data entry persists, consuming up to eight hours weekly for many managers. AI adoption remains limited—only 5.6 % use it—due to trust and reliability doubts, and a hybrid in‑house/third‑party maintenance model now serves nearly half of fleets. The transition to electric and hybrid vehicles is sluggish, hindered by infrastructure expenses and a shortage of qualified technicians.
