Think on your fleet
Contributed by the British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association
The automotive industry will experience more change in the
next decade than it did in the previous 50, but what we are
seeing is not one revolution, it is three.
- Radical changes in the way vehicles are powered,
operated and used. Drivers reliance on petrol and diesel
fuelled vehicles is in decline as electric vehicles finally
deliver the range, mpg and cost of ownership required to
make them serious contenders for fleet buyers.
- The industry will be led by electronics and software,
where it was once dominated by mechanical engineers
it has been transformed into one led by electronics and
software. The modern car is one of the most complex
devices on earth, with a host of electrical systems, sensors
and processors that are making driving safer and more
sustainable, and gradually removing the need for any
human intervention at all.
- The modern connected car is part of the wider
‘Internet of Things’, and capable of sharing data in a way
that will transform the way we live and work.
