"Government leaders are turning a critical eye towards fleet budgets, so state and other agency fleet managers are looking for a fleet management services provider that understands their unique needs. We are pleased to be able to offer state- and government-specific services and expertise," commented ARI Vice President of Sales Support Joe Frantz, "Cheryl has the experience and drive to ensure that our state-specific clients reach or exceed their goals."
About ARI ARI, a subsidiary of Holman Enterprises, based in Mt. Laurel, N.J., is a privately held vehicle fleet management company specializing in complex car, truck, government, and utility fleets. As a single-source fleet management leader, ARI customizes innovative solutions that streamline fleet operations, help lower the cost of fleet ownership, and create long-term value for customers.
Today, with a workforce numbering more than 1,400 and offices throughout the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Europe, the company provides fleet services to more than 2,000 outsourced fleets (over 725,000 autos and trucks) in North America and, combined with its strategic partners, more than 1.8 million global fleet vehicles.
As public agencies work to cut emissions from off-road operations, fleets are turning to a mix of renewable fuels, hybrid systems, battery-electric equipment and emerging hydrogen technology.
RoadFlex expands its fueling network for public sector fleets through a new partnership with Refuel, adding more than 250 locations across the Southeastern U.S. to improve access, savings, and efficiency.
Fuel management can become a tricky obstacle, but smart strategies and new tech have turned it into a well-oiled machine where price prediction is art, and cost control is science.
A major point of debate in fleet management is using diesel vs. gas cars and trucks. Choosing to purchase gasoline engines instead of diesel ones for medium-duty trucks may be an unpopular decision, but is it the right one?
On-site fueling has its pros and cons, and even if it seems like the best option for the fleet, there are still two big obstacles to overcome: getting the stamp of approval and basically everything pertaining to the infrastructure.
