Donlen Corp. Continues Environmental Commitment as Premier Sponsor for Upcoming Green Fleet Conference

ARTICLE TOOLS        | E-MailPrint

CHICAGO– Donlen Corporation will be a premier sponsor of Bobit Business Media's upcoming Green Fleet Conference, to be held at the Hyatt Regency Chicago on Sept. 15-16. Donlen's impact on environmental responsibility includes personalized consultation, leveraging a suite of proprietary tools that enable fleet decision makers to assess the financial and environmental outcomes of their vehicle selection and operation. Donlen furthers its commitment to the environment through multiple partnerships, including one with the Sierra Club, where the company offers its consultation and technology on coolfleets.com.

Donlen's participation will be directed by Senior Vice President of Strategic Consulting and Environmental Solutions, Dan Hannan. "Over the past several years, green awareness has been a growing trend, but as gas prices approach $5 a gallon, the demand for expert guidance and data has exploded," Hannan said.

Also, Donlen has expanded its consulting group with the recent appointment of Chelsea Mathis as environmental business analyst. Mathis joined Donlen last year as a consulting business analyst and now will be working with customers to launch formal environmental strategies and policies through detailed analysis and consultation on market trends.

Mathis emphasized the importance of developing corporate policies for green compliance, and noted the advantages of the upcoming conference forum. "As clients are looking to identify and implement turnkey solutions to their fuel and environmental challenges, the creation of internal green policy is a major driver," Mathis said. "Conferences like this green fleet event are an ideal setting to learn more about comprehensive approaches to these challenges, on the road to developing continual solutions in an engaging, credible venue."

Fleet Safety Must be Your No. 1 Job Priority

By Mike Antich
In two decades of chronicling the history of fleet management, I have seen interest in fleet safety ebb and flow. In an annual survey I conduct of fleet managers, they rated fleet safety as their No. 2 concern, right behind the cost of fuel. Why the renewed interest in fleet safety? More and more fleet managers are reporting an uptick in preventable accidents. In addition, fleet managers are feeling pressure from other corporate departments to increase fleet driver safety.

Upfitting prices have risen multiple times and some truck equipment manufacturers are guaranteeing current prices for only 90 days. Worldwide, prices have soared for commodities used in upfitting, such as steel and aluminum.
