Summary

Economic volatility along with an increasingly complex and uncertain operating environment, making the role of information even more critical. In a recent survey of transportation executives, 97% agreed that benchmarking with real-time data is becoming essential to navigate economic uncertainty and sudden market shifts. What’s more, 54% said the ability to compare their fleet’s performance to others in the same market would improve both efficiency and operational decision making.

Benchmarking is a powerful tool to analyze fleet data, identify performance gaps, and implement changes that lead to measurable improvements in top cost drivers such as fuel efficiency and utilization. The challenge for operators can be knowing what to benchmark and the best way to accurate, reliable information.

In this session, you will:

Discover the three primary types of benchmarking: internal, industry and similar fleet.
Learn why an apples-to-apples comparison of operational variables is critical for effective benchmarking and how to get it.
Hear how transportation executives are using benchmarking are learn more about what they revealed in the Transportation Leaders Survey: A Road to AI Adoption conducted by Penske earlier this year.
