    How to Write Better AI Prompts for Fleet Analysis (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Include these six elements in your fleet prompts to generate more relevant analysis and accurate answers. Most fleet professionals already understand that a better AI prompt will produce a better answer. So, what belongs in that prompt? For fleets analyzing their data, it’s about context. Vehicle application, duty cycle, geography, mileage, payload, and business priorities matter as much as the spreadsheet itself. “The more context you provide, the more valuable the results will be,” said Angela

    The Only Certainty with the New Tariff Threat Is Uncertainty (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Trump’s Canadian tariff threat will not move production overnight, but the uncertainty could influence ordering and pricing now. Longer term, forces beyond tariffs may determine which North American plants survive. Fall is coming. But if you live around the Great Lakes — on either side of the border — that bluster you felt this week was more likely the political rhetoric than the typical autumn gales.

I married into a Subaru Outback. A 2008-MY Outback, to be precise. Back then, there was no mistaking it for anything other than a station wagon, albeit one with all-wheel drive and a little extra ground clearance. Those were the days. We took that Quartz Silver Metallic wagon out to restaurants on our early dates. We even

    How Conversational AI Can Make Fleet Tasks Easier for Drivers (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    While most generative AI tools help fleet managers interpret data at their desks, Connex2X is applying voice interaction to tasks behind the wheel. Fleet technology has entered a new phase of AI adoption. Over the past two years, telematics systems providers, automakers, FMIS suppliers, and fleet management companies have announced and deployed generative AI within their traditional platforms. GenAI is no longer a novelty; it’s now table stakes. Fleet managers can now converse with their systems

    How Element Uses AI to Streamline Fleet Maintenance Decisions (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    AI-powered decision support helps Element maintenance advisors reduce research time, improve repair consistency, and potentially speed vehicle uptime for fleet clients. Maintenance advisors have traditionally relied on multiple systems to verify warranty coverage, repair history, client policies, and pricing before authorizing repairs. Artificial intelligence is beginning to simplify that process by bringing the information together in one place. Element Fleet Management's new DigiAdvisor is des
