Whether it&#8217;s developing a holistic strategy that maximizes the potential of your fleet or it is navigating a variety of administrative tasks to simply keep your drivers and vehicles on the road servicing your customers, most fleet operators certainly have their hands full.<\/p>\n<p>Holman&#8217;s Ted Davis recently spoke with\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.automotive-fleet.com\/10204514\/ongoing-vehicle-sourcing-constraints-aggravated-by-higher-fleet-costs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Automotive Fleet<\/a><\/em>\u00a0to discuss some of the top challenges impacting fleet operators today and provide his perspective on how these trends are likely to evolve over time. In the article, Ted notes that while the vehicle supply chain is showing signs of improvement, disruptions continue to linger. As a result, fleet operators must navigate short-term challenges while also adjusting their long-term strategic planning.<\/p>\n<p>He also highlights that\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.holman.com\/resources\/economic-trends-full-version\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">economic headwinds<\/a>\u00a0are impacting virtually every aspect of fleet operations. Whether it is rising interest rates, supply constraints, or inconsistent fuel prices, these trends are driving operating costs higher and many organizations are looking for ways to optimize their fleet strategy and control costs to adapt to the economic uncertainty.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n    <style>.wysiwyg{margin-top:0 !important;}<\/style>\n\n\n    <section class=\"quote-testimonial\" id=\"\">\n        <div class=\"inner\">\n            <div class=\"quote-testimonial-quote\">\n                <div class=\"body-1\"><p>&#8220;Compared to 2020, new-vehicle acquisitions costs are approximately 19% higher while maintenance and fuel costs rose between 25-40% in a similar timeframe.
