The Future of Fleet: What Leaders Should Prepare for Next
Where is fleet management headed—and what should leaders be preparing for now?
In this season finale of Fleet Forward, automotive executive Ted Cannis delivers a forward-looking keynote that brings together the biggest themes shaping the future of fleet management. From electrification and software-defined vehicles to AI, supply chain disruption, telematics, and autonomous technology, the conversation focuses on separating industry hype from the trends that will have the greatest impact on fleet operations.
Rather than chasing every new technology, Ted shares why successful fleets must focus on scalable solutions, structured data, and technologies that deliver measurable business value over the long term.
