Abstract

Vehicle fleets for large corporations can have thousands of vehicles that are replaced between every few months and every few years. With the emergence of hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and other new vehicle technologies, combined with an increasing focus on sustainability, planning fleet purchases has and continues to become a significantly more complicated undertaking. This paper introduces Ford’s Fleet Purchase Planner system designed to present fleet customers with optimal purchase strategies that incorporate their companies’ cost and sustainability considerations.
