Features in this edition: As of April 1, commercial drivers not in compliance with the electronic logging device (ELD) mandate could officially be placed out of service during a roadside inspection.
NAFA is asking for your feedback on how ELD compliance and enforcement since April 1 is affecting your fleet. Please respond to Pat O’Connor, NAFA’s U.S. Legislative Counsel. Contact information is available within this article. In a letter to a key U.S. Senate Committee, NAFA urged the Senate to act on H.R. 2353. Specifically, the legislation looks to empower state and local community leaders, improve alignment with in-demand jobs, increase transparency and accountability, and ensure a limited federal role. Auto manufacturers have launched a new tool to facilitate auto recalls by allowing vehicle fleet managers and others to search for open recalls for thousands of autos at once, free of charge. This search tool will allow authorized users to search for open recalls for up to 10,000 vehicles at once and get results usually within a matter of seconds. The Highway Trust Fund is the primary source of federal funding for highway and mass-transit in the United States, yet it is projected to become insolvent by 2021. Studies suggest using a mileage-based tax to raise revenue for the fund in lieu of the gas tax currently used. The Environmental Protection Agency is now accepting grant proposals for the DERA Clean Diesel Funding Assistance Program. The program awards grants to agencies and nonprofits who preside over or specialize in transportation and air quality. California and 16 other states covering about 40 percent of the U.S. population filed a lawsuit in the U.S. Court of Appeals over the Trump administration’s decision to roll back fuel-efficiency standards.

Canadian new car sales have been on a hot streak. Last year saw Canada’s first ever “two million market,” an important threshold in the industry’s history. While this great news gets attributed to dealers and manufacturers in the country, and to OEMs in other jurisdictions who supply this market, 20 percent of sales last year, or close to 400,000 units - are fleet-destined vehicles with different regulatory and operational requirements than consumer vehicles. Fleet's market influence is not recognized at a level commensurate to its legislative needs.
