3. END OF YEAR FLEET MANAGEMENT REPORTS Fleet Management today requires you to know more about the finan- cial condition of your fleet than to be able to tune up a car or truck. Like it or not, we are financial managers. You must be able to tell your customers how well you managed their money and their equipment. One of the ways to tell your customers how well you did is through a number of fleet financial reports. We will talk about several of these reports and how you will benefit from using them. You must track and record your costs in order to bench mark your equipment and personal performance. Before you can compare your fleet to others, you must be able to benchmark your annual performance numbers to yourself. In order to be competitive with a managed competition bid, you MUST know what it costs to run your fleet operation. Presenter: Bill DeRousse, Fleet Services Consulting

4. TECHNOLOGY TRENDS FOR VEHICLE FLUIDS New engine and transmission designs have created new chal- lenges and are pushing the limits on the vehicle’s vital fluids. Many manufacturers have developed proprietary fluids to address these challenges. (Dexos1, Dexos2, Dex VI, Mercon LV are just a few.) In this session, we’ll discuss the challenges and the impact these fluids have on the health of your fleet. Presenters: Mr. Mike Belluomo, Technical Service Director / Chem- ist – Technology and Mr. Mike Srog, Region Market Manager; BG Products
4:30pm - 5:00pm WRAP-UP AND ADJOURN Moderators: Lt. Scott Coy and Mr. Dennis Tucker, PFE Co-Chairs

HONDA Honda is still making its presence felt in the U.K. marketplace and a revolutionary new 1.6l- diesel engine will soon be powering the CR-V after making an impressive debut in the latest Civic range, that’ll soon spawn a new Tourer model, which debuts soon.
HYUNDAI The days when fleet managers would eye foreign marques with suspicion are long gone and it’s not taken too long for one Ko- rean manufacturer to make an arresting case for itself with year- on-year growth that’s the envy of the sector. In the last five years, Hyundai has gone from ‘Zero to Hero.’ Its value for the money product line wins more and more Emergency 999 fleet sales in a very competitive marketplace. Taking pride of place on this year’s stand were the latest i30
in three- and five-door hatch and tourer (wagon) variants with an i40 Tourer—which only the day before was on duty with the Cambridgeshire force—showing of its sleek lines. Also on show, a new three-door i30 used by detectives taking miscreants around the force area as they reel off their ill-gotten gains prior to a court appearance. It has been another successful year for Hyundai and as budgets
get even tighter, the case for buying Korean is gaining strength given the marque’s enviable reliability and low running costs. How that will play with two of its major competitors, Ford and Vauxhall, only time will tell—but both manufacturers haven’t been idle since the last show.
JAGUAR – LAND ROVER Are Jaguar and Land Rover both pricing themselves out of the 999 market? There were just four models on show this year with the roomy new XF Sportbreak taking pride of place on the stand. Jaguar police cars may well be a very rare sight soon as the com- pany aims cars like the XF and XJ squarely at the lucrative retail and fleet markets. The impressive new Range Rover starts at a heady $120,000
plus, while the latest Discovery is a good but very pricey alterna- tive to the Shogun. The Freelander range is still ‘in with a shout’ thanks to advances with its ED4 stop-start 2.2L diesel model.
MERCEDES BENZ Big news from Mercedes Benz is its definite return to the U.K. 999 market, albeit in highly specialized roles. While its light commercial vehicles are still very much the backbone of Met- ropolitan forces with its Vito and Sprinter used for safety cam- era, dog unit and personnel carrying roles respectively, the U.K. importers announced their return into the U.K. marketplace where it’s specifically seeking opportunities for covert roles with its highly regarded diesel E class in saloon (sedan) and tourer (wagon) form.
MITSUBISHI And well-respected U.K. 999 supplier Mitsubishi is experiencing a massive uplift in retail sales, which are running at 70 percent
