Fleet Day 2024 in Schwäbisch Hall

At the Fleet Day in Schwäbisch Hall, we took an in-depth look at the latest trends and strategies in fleet management and gained exciting insights into the future of the industry. The focus was on smart data management, which is indispensable today for optimizing task and document management as well as damage control. These efficient processes enable fleet managers to save resources and focus on strategic decisions. With predictive maintenance as standard, potential problems are identified at an early stage, which not only reduces downtime but also significantly extends the service life of the vehicles and reduces maintenance costs.

Electrification has been a hotly debated topic. Even if the switch to electric vehicles is associated with challenges such as range anxiety and a still patchy charging infrastructure, it offers enormous opportunities. Companies that focus on e-mobility can not only save costs in the long term, but also strengthen their brand image as an innovative and environmentally conscious employer. Multimodal mobility hubs, which connect different modes of transport, opened up new perspectives on how fleet managers can optimize the utilization of their vehicles and increase overall efficiency. This shows how important it is to integrate flexibility into the mobility strategy.

Automation was another key point. The participants discussed how AI-supported processes can significantly reduce the manual workload. Automated document management, task planning and compliance monitoring ensure seamless processing and minimize human error. This allows fleet managers to focus more on strategic tasks while ensuring that all legal requirements are met.

The trend towards decarbonization was also highlighted, as sustainability is becoming increasingly relevant not only due to legal requirements, but also due to increasing pressure from customers and stakeholders. The implementation of environmentally friendly driving technologies, the use of alternative mobility solutions and investment in energy-efficient vehicles are key strategies for reducing CO₂ emissions and achieving sustainability targets.

An exciting aspect was the differentiation as a modern employer through mobility solutions. Flexibility and the ability to use company vehicles for private purposes increase employee satisfaction and help to attract and retain talent. Mobility budgets that allow employees to choose between different modes of transportation create an attractive working environment.

With innovative technologies and our AZOWO platform, which provides real-time data and in-depth analytics, we help companies prepare for and successfully master the challenges and opportunities of the future of fleet management. The Fleet Day was a valuable opportunity to discuss these important topics together and provide new impetus for the further development of fleet management.
