There are dramatic differences between regional fleet markets around the globe. Yet, despite these differences, there are also many similarities. Many of the challenges facing fleet managers are identical to the challenges facing their counterparts managing fleets elsewhere in the world. Presented will be the Top 10 trends that will influence global fleet management in the future. Lunch will be served.

Examined will be the current dynamics of societal, demographic, and global economic trends by region and how these forces will impact fleet mobility from both a consumer and business perspective.

 

This presentation will identify the top vehicle acquisition trends in Europe and how they will influence the direction of the market in future years. Insights will be provided by identifying the trends and developments influencing today’s and tomorrow’s vehicle fleet business in Europe. Among the trends discussed will be emerging vehicle and powertrain preferences, sustainability initiatives, mobility management, and connectivity.

This case study will explain how to develop a global fleet safety strategy that will result in decreased accidents and lower costs. Learn how to create and sustain a pervasive corporate-wide safety culture that extends beyond fleet drivers to contractors and occasional employee drivers. Identified will be the fundamental initiatives that must to be implemented to achieve the lowest collision per mile.

 

The session will provide a comprehensive overview on the state of the current fleet market in South America and Mexico, along with future trends that will impact multinational fleets operating in these regions

This session will present real-world guidelines on how to develop a comprehensive global acquisition strategy. Presented will be 10 essential guidelines necessary to create a strategy that is objective, manageable, and cost-effective.

 

Fleet operations is an integral part of a multinational corporation’s global responsibility strategy to reduce GHG emissions and makes its transportation fleet more efficient. This case study will examine how this strategy is being implemented and present examples that can be implemented in your fleet.

 

Philip Morris International operates a worldwide fleet of 22,930 vehicles.  This presentation will present a case study of its successful cost-efficiency program implemented across 82 countries and how the program has helped to improve driver safety. The foundation of the program is to pave the way to transform the fleet to new powertrains and an integrated mobility management.

Speaker: Almy Sousa Magalhães, Global Procurement Executive Fleet, E-Commerce and Distribution at Philip Morris International

A partnership between NAFA and Brazil's PARAR Mobility Institute has successfully created a fleet manager certification program for the Brazilian fleet market. In addition, NAFA has created a successful fleet certification program in the U.S. and Canada. NAFA and PARAR will present their outreach initiative to discuss the feasibility of expanding region-specific fleet manager certification programs around the world.

Disruptive technologies will significantly alter how businesses operate, forcing companies to fundamentally change the way they approach their businesses. This presentation will discuss autonomous vehicles and mobility technologies and how they may alter the way multinational corporations operate and manage their fleets on a regional or global basis.

 

This presentation will examine the current and emerging trends in global fleet sourcing. Discussion will explore how global, regional and local performance can defined, targeted and measured to enable stakeholders to assess the success of their global fleet procurement strategy. 

Many companies are continuously looking for ways to reduce emissions from its fleet and are committed to an absolute reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across their global operations. This presentation will examine one initiative of this multipronged strategy is to implement technology solutions and the use data analytics to improve operational efficiencies and cost savings of its global fleet.

This session will clarify what drives vehicle residual values, the risks associated in specific countries, and what you can do to limit the impact on a corporate budget. The session will include very concrete examples from different countries around the world.

This session will provide an in-depth analysis of how to develop a global fleet program from the ground up and the strategy to roll it out for local implementation. Examined will be the lessons learned during this process and identification of best practices.

This case study will focus on the innovative aspects of a global fleet program in terms of vehicle fleet policy, local implementation, sustainability initiatives, safety compliance, and mobility management.

There are numerous challenges in managing a fleet in Sub-Saharan Africa ranging from poor fuel quality, lack of fleet maintenance infrastructure, to vehicle acquisition difficulties. This case study will show you how to effectively address these challenges and avoid common mistakes.

This session will examine sourcing options by country/region and identify tender process best practices – both locally and globally. Examined will how tenders are structured and best practices in negotiating a global sourcing agreement.
