Chris Brown, executive editor of fleet publications in Bobit Business Media’s Auto Group, has started a blog.
Called Auto Focus, the blog will cover the automotive universe from a business perspective: fleet management, manufacturer fleet activities, the fleet leasing industry, vehicle remarketing, rental industry news and issues and car rental taxation and legislation as well as automotive industry trends such as green fleet initiatives, alternative fuel vehicles and technological developments.
Readers can comment on blog posts “or anything in the world of fleet and the automotive industry that moves you,” Brown says.
Brown intends the blog to be a community of information, opinions and ideas. Plans include a section for guest bloggers, a forum, industry resources and streaming video.
Access the blog from the navigation bar from the www.BusinessFleet.com or www.AutoRentalNews.com homepages, or click here. Note that at present the Auto Rental News page is not set up for comments, while Business Fleet is. This will change in coming weeks.
