Same Old Story

By: Anonymous Fleet Manager

Same old story. Everyone wants good public transport, but no one wants a bus stop at the front of their house!

The organisation wants EVs, but “leadership” wants a 4x4 to tow their boat on Saturdays!

It’s well past time for people to put the big picture first. If we can’t get senior management to lead by example why should everyone else tow (pardon the pun) the line. Anyone can come up with a tale about why a certain vehicle is not fit for purpose – yes…A TALE.

Let’s be analytical. Look at the utilisation data, look at the application, carry out an objective fit-for-purpose assessment and then make objective and rational decisions about the right vehicle.

I can guarantee EVs will work if we implement them correctly for the right reasons in the right places.

To stop our Anonymous Fleet Manager (AFM) blowing a gasket, we created Internal Combustion, a monthly column for fleet-related rants that lets him blow off some steam. Got a fleet gripe you'd like to get his opinion on? Email the editor who will pass it on to AFM... when he's in a good enough mood, that is.
