A TELETRAC Navman survey of more than 1,800 road haulage fleet operators has revealed that rising fuel costs (39%), disruption due to the impact of Covid 19 (32%), and supply chain pressure (31%), are the top challenges they currently face.
“Fuel cost rises are the number one concern for operators,” said Alain Samaha, president & CEO of Teletrac Navman. “As the cost per gallon of fuel spiked throughout last year, many operators looked to driver behaviour programs and EV transition plans.”
A third (32%) of respondents said that the conversion to next generation fuels is one of their largest areas of expense (second to purchasing new vehicles).
More than a third (41%) said environmental impact is their biggest concern about the current economic environment; outside of transitioning to next generation fuels, of which 30% were looking to move to EVs in the next 12 months.
