industry

30 Fleet Maintenance | February 2020
P
hrases such as "quick clip," "breakneck speed," and "unprecedented pace"
are often used to define the level at which the commercial vehicle industry is
changing. Certainly this can be attributed to technological advancements with
developments in vehicle connectivity, electrification, and automated systems.
With all of these continual changes, the maintenance and repair of these
vehicles will become increasingly important. Maintenance is the backbone of
the industry, providing the means with which all of these "computers on wheels"
will stay on the road and out of the service bay.
The Fleet Maintenance State of the Industry report provides a look into the
current trends and challenges maintenance and service operations face. Our
team utilized data from surveys conducted throughout the year to provide a
comprehensive overview of the current trends and challenges fleets face when it
comes to commercial vehicle maintenance and repair. Data has been compiled
from the following surveys: the 2019 Fleet Maintenance staff Readership Study,
the 2019 Fleet Maintenance staff Salary Study, and the 2018 Fleet Maintenance
staff Purchasing Study. All of the surveys provide perspective on the maintenance segment of the industry.
The following report provides an overview of the respondents' demographics,
a salary report, industry trends, and purchasing trends.
