The submissions process for NAFA's Fleet Excellence Awards (FLEXYs) will open soon. Now is the time to develop your submissions in advance of starting date in early December.
FLEXYs are a true fleet management industry award and a prestigious opportunity to reward strong results. Every fleet management professional and supplier is welcome to submit an entry for the FLEXYs, regardless of where in the world their or their clients' fleets are based. Nominees are not required to be members of NAFA Fleet Management Association and are not required to have a CAFM® certification. There is no cost for submissions.
Features
The success of new technology is no accident. Consumers are most receptive when they have the chance to see, touch and wholeheartedly experience the innovation firsthand. Unlike a smartphone, however, autonomous vehicles cannot be found at every electronics store in town. Hoping to bring potential users closer to the future of mobility, the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) hosted four public demo day events across Florida, California, and Michigan. The events offered a closer look at how these vehicles might function once deployed, providing the masses with an opportunity to ride inside of a self-driving vehicle.
Career Center
NAFA announces the launch of its all-new Career Center, designed to give you the tools you need to find a new job or hire new teammates in the competitive fleet segment. Trust in NAFA's time-tested expertise and reach to connect with the job you seek or with employees who want the job you are offering. Learn more about it now at nafa.careerwebsite.com.
Industry News
Remarketing Strategy
Weekly Manheim Market Report (MMR) prices continued to exhibit an accelerating depreciation pattern that began in September and peaked midway through October. Three-year-old vehicle values in aggregate were down four percent for the month when prices normally decline by 1.5-2%. The above-average depreciation trend occurred in all major market segments. As a result of this higher depreciation, prices in aggregate relative to the beginning of the year are now lower than either of the last two years.
Upcoming Events
NAFA's next webinar, Is Your Fleet Vehicle Making You Ill? (Sponsored by PURIFYD), takes place this Wednesday, November 20, at 12:00 noon Eastern. Time is short to register, so don't miss out.
NAFA webinars are available for FREE for all NAFA Members as an exclusive benefit of membership. Registration for non-members is $25. Coming Soon:
