On December 12th, the Fleet and Mobility Managers Club (FMMC) convened to discuss preparing corporate vehicle fleets in the Americas for 2026 and beyond. Industry leaders shared insights on electrification, cost management, and regional challenges across the United States, Mexico, and Brazil. The meeting highlighted the importance of adapting strategies to local realities, with U.S. fleets facing regulatory inconsistencies, Mexico struggling with security and infrastructure, and Brazil dealing with government interventions.

A top 10 countdown of lessons emphasized hybrid vehicles as a bridge solution, tariffs and costs as barriers, and the trade-offs between leasing and purchasing. Telematics and technology were identified as essential tools for efficiency and risk mitigation, while leadership commitment was underscored as critical for safety and EV success. Insurance challenges, particularly in Mexico and the U.S., were noted as escalating issues. Home charging emerged as a cost-effective solution for EV adoption, and cross-department coordination was deemed vital for long-term planning.

The session closed with holiday wishes to FMT Insiders and a reminder that the next meeting is planned for March 2026, reinforcing the club’s commitment to shaping the future of fleet management.
