Fleet Insights

At AfMA we know every fleet is different – and every operator faces unique challenges and opportunities. Fleet Insights is a simple way for fleet operators to share what’s happening in their world and spark ideas that benefit the entire industry.

Each month we’ll feature short responses from the fleet community. You can contribute anonymously or with your name included, and you can also let us know if you’d like AfMA to follow up with support or introductions.

Every fleet operator faces unique challenges and opportunities — and AfMA wants to make sure your voice is heard.

Fleet Insights gives you a simple way to share what’s happening in your fleet: the issues you’re tackling, the questions you’d like answered, and the opportunities you see ahead.

• Contribute anonymously or include your name
• Decide whether you’d like AfMA to connect you with peers, resources or partners
• See selected insights shared back each month to spark new ideas and conversations
• Get involved in just 2–3 minutes

Together we can create a stronger, more connected fleet community. Over time, Fleet Insights will build a living picture of operators’ needs and opportunities, helping shape programs, events and resources across the industry.

1. Biggest challenge: “Introducing EVs into our fleet has been exciting, but our regional drivers are struggling with charging access.”
2. Question for peers: “Has anyone successfully rolled out portable charging or reimbursement policies for home charging?”
3. Support needed: “More case studies of regional fleets making the EV transition.”
4. Opportunity ahead: “We see an opportunity to use EVs for city-based staff and keep ICE vehicles for regional work until infrastructure improves.”
5. Follow-up requested: No

1. Biggest challenge: “We’re running an older tool-of-trade fleet and servicing costs are creeping up. I’d like to know how other organisations decide the tipping point between keeping vehicles longer or cycling them out sooner.”
2. Question for peers: “Do you set replacement based on years, kilometres, or whole-of-life cost models?”
3. Support needed: “A simple calculator to weigh up repair vs replace costs in the Australian market.”
4. Opportunity ahead: “Trialling a car share model in metro Sydney for short trips – keen to hear from anyone already doing this locally.”
5. Follow-up requested: Yes (please enter your contact details)
