The thirty seventh State of the Fleet Industry video produced by Automotive Fleet takes a look back at 2020, the most challenging year in the history of the fleet industry, presented by AF Editor Mike Antich.
Topics discussed included the closure of OEM assembly plants and physical auctions; declines in resale values early in 2020 followed by strong residuals through the balance of the year; pandemic-induced flattened operating costs through the year; and the boom in last-mile delivery and e-commerce.
