Tourette Syndrome isn’t often linked to fleet, however Stuart Ellis-Myers – a past NAFA Institute & Expo keynote speaker, three-year FLEXY Award emcee, and current board member of the NAFA Foundation – has found an intriguing way to incorporate them.
 
 
 
   
Do you want to employ individuals who know how to achieve ROI, can calculate TCO, and are ready on day one to "do fleet" the way you need it done? Are you looking for a job in fleet and mobility and want to speak to employers who need your skills?

Returning once again to I&E is the Fleet Management Executive Panel. This session will afford attendees at NAFA’s Institute & Expo the opportunity to hear directly from the leaders of major fleet management companies as they discuss what they see coming in the near future with regard to procurement, sourcing, inventory, sustainability, global expansion, and much more!
 
 
 
 
   
As an exclusive benefit of membership, NAFA has developed a system for you to submit your law enforcement vehicle service concerns through the Association. NAFA will provide them to OEMs to discuss and provide solutions for at a targeted session at the annual Institute & Expo.
 
 
 
   
NAFA's I&E pre-conference workshops tackle some of the most pressing issues confronting fleet head-on. This year will be no different as the Association presents the pre-con, "Crowdsourcing Policies That Will Work for You." Join us to create a robust policy framework consisting of a Fleet Management Manual, Driver Handbook, and Service Level Agreements.
 
 
 
 
   
Fleet is constantly evolving, and true fleet leaders realize that even when you think you've learned all there is to know, you've only scratched the surface. Get past the surface and go deep with the pre-conference event, "Fleet 401-The Masters," taking place April 14. This interactive seminar emphasizes senior-level peer learning and takes it to the next level.

Insider's Look at City of Stamford's $1 Million Fleet Savings:
How They Achieved It, and How You Can, Too
(Sponsored by Agile)

Time: 12:00 - 1:00 PM EST
Date: Wednesday, February 27, 2019


Instructors: Ed Smith, President and CEO, Agile Fleet;
and Michael Albanese, Software Applications Manager, Stamford, CT

The City of Stamford was concerned about high fleet costs and lack of metrics to understand vehicle usage and requirements. By relying on fleet technology to help them to efficiently share vehicles, automate maintenance schedules, and collect fleet data to reduce underutilized vehicles, the City stands to save $1 million over five years.

Fleet Manager Mike Scacco will discuss the challenges the City faced before implementing technology, offering details about the steps he took to take the city from having too many underutilized vehicles to saving $1 million. Representatives from Agile Fleet will also take part in the session to offer information regarding the fleet technology in place at the City and how they put it to use to improve efficiency and slash costs.

 
Remarketing Strategy
 
   
Wholesale used vehicle prices (on a mix-, mileage-, and seasonally adjusted basis) decreased 1.62 percent month-over-month in January. This brought the Manheim Used Vehicle Value Index to 135.4, a 3.3 percent increase from a year ago.
