BRENTWOOD, TN – Comdata Corporation has been selected by Donlen Corporation as its preferred fleet card provider. Comdata will provide fuel discounts, real-time reporting, and a one-card integrated solution for Donlen's fleet customers, helping them save on fleet-related costs.

Under a multi-year contract, Donlen will use the Comdata fuel card to track and regulate all its vehicle-related fuel, maintenance, and repair expenses for the 125,000 fleet vehicles they manage.

Comdata's program enables Donlen to offer their customers a full range of fleet management solutions, the convenience of MasterCard universal acceptance, and real-time purchase controls designed to reduce costs and improve margins. The integration of Comdata's reporting capabilities and Donlen's PUSH (Prevent Unnecessary Spending and Hazards) program will give Donlen customers the ability to monitor expenses associated with their fleet programs. Utilizing Comdata's extensive reporting data, the PUSH system will alert drivers and fleet managers via e-mail of inefficient fuel and spending behaviors. Customers may then leverage Donlen's innovative technologies and strategic consulting services to fully change driver behaviors.

"Comdata's robust fuel discount network along with its fleet-centric tools made it an easy choice for Donlen to welcome Comdata as our fleet card provider," said Dave Lodding, senior vice president, Donlen. "We believe that our alliance with Comdata will provide significant savings to our fleet customers as well as better reporting capabilities to help them manage expenses in this tough economy."

"The Comdata MasterCard Fleet Card offers a flexible solution that streamlines spending and lowers costs for our customers with integrated, real-time transaction controls and detailed reporting," said Randy Morgan, senior vice president and general manager of Comdata's Credit Payment Solutions division.

The Donlen Corporate Fleet Fuel MasterCard Card is issued by Regions Bank pursuant to a license by MasterCard International Incorporated. MasterCard and the MasterCard Brand Mark are registered trademarks of MasterCard International Incorporated.

Migration to 4-Cylinder Engines Continues with 2010-MY Ordering

By Mike Antich
The ongoing volatility of gasoline prices has prompted a growing number of fleets to transition to four-cylinder engines. This transition started in the 2008-MY and accelerated with 2009-MY ordering, when gas prices surpassed $4 per gallon in the summer of 2008. Early indications are that the migration to four-cylinder engines will continue with 2010-MY ordering. We have already seen glimpses of this trend in the 2010 RFPs submitted to major OEMs.

Does LIBOR Still Correlate to Corporate Borrowing?

By Mike Antich
LIBOR was developed in 1984 as a measure of the real rate at which banks lend money to each other. Since the early 1990s, LIBOR has been used as a funding index for fleet leases. However, when the recent turmoil in the financial markets prompted governments to "backstop" bank borrowing, the cost of lending money began to represent a government-guaranteed rate, which no longer correlated to fleet lessor costs.
