Private motor carriers, like all trucking operations, have adjusted to shifting freight market conditions in the past year as truck capacity has loosened and freight rates have softened.

As today's fleets strive to meet operational efficiency and sustainability goals, what does that mean for the future of the internal combustion engine? Are alternative fuels or electric vehicles the logical next step? Who is engineering these advances and which will be the right choice for your fleet? Discover the potential energy in new ideas that will drive you forward. 

In the wake of the global pandemic, technology is being used to keep drivers safe, facilitate remote work, and drive efficiency gains so that companies are in a good position to survive the coming recession and thrive in the recovery to follow.

Effective IoT management can improve fleet efficiency, empower drivers to save time and money on the road, and make hardware purchases more cost-effective. Please join Samsung and Platform Science to learn best practices for managing IoT in today's world of connected fleets.

In this white paper from MiX Telematics, we look at the unique challenges service fleets have to overcome and the specific ways in which a telematics solution can fix these.

Fleets face a multitude of fuel-efficiency testing methods, each with unique contexts and applications, making comparisons challenging and confusing, and extrapolation to the real world even more so, the North American Council for Freight Efficiency said in its latest report.

Trucks in the European Union are no more fuel-efficient than they were more than a decade ago, according to a report released Dec. 3, as calls increase for emissions from heavy-duty vehicles to be regulated in the same way as cars.

Almost three quarters of American consumers support requiring truck manufacturers to raise the fuel economy of heavy-duty trucks, according to a recent report.

Speaking at a Safeway Inc. distribution center in Maryland on Feb. 18, President Obama ordered his staff to develop a proposed rule further tightening greenhouse-gas emissions by heavy- and medium-duty trucks by March 2015 and to complete the process a year after that.
