Fear that MY-2023 Ordering Cycle May be Déjà vu of MY-2022

The 95th State of the Fleet Industry video produced by Automotive Fleet offers an updated look at the state of the fleet market as presented by AF Editor Mike Antich.

Today’s topics include:

• There is huge pent-up demand in the fleet industry to compensate for the vehicles that companies were unable to source in the 2021 and 2022 model years.
• There is a real availability issue of finding “fleet level” vehicles that are not loaded with options geared toward retail customers.
• More OEMs have moved to a controlled allocation system.
• The upfitting industry is a key contributor to longer order-to-delivery times due to supply chain shortages and increased costs due to rising commodity prices.
