The Future-Fit Fleet
Making your commercial fleet fit for the future.
Introducing The Future-Fit Fleet from Castrol
The Future-Fit Fleet is one of the largest studies ever into commercial fleet management, exploring what the best performing fleets are doing to ensure they are future-ready. The Future-Fit Fleet incorporates the views of 1,500 fleet managers across the world and includes practical insights to improve the operational efficiency, maintenance, carbon intensity and digital readiness of commercial fleets.
What is a Future-Fit Fleet?
Future-Fit Fleets go further and do more with less downtime and fewer challenges. Fleet managers overseeing the best-performing fleets invest in technology, keep on top of repairs and ensure drivers have the right skills for the job.
Because of this, these fleets excel across four dimensions: operational efficiency, carbon reduction, digitisation and maintenance.
The four dimensions of a Future-Fit Fleet
Operational Efficiency
Utilising techniques to optimise routes, reduce fuel consumption and lower operational costs.
Carbon Reduction
Focusing on reducing carbon footprints through sustainability focused strategies and regulation readiness.
Digitisation
Implementing technologies to improve fleet management—including telematics, AI and GPS tracking to enhance efficiency, safety and vehicle health monitoring.
Maintenance
Incorporating proactive maintenance, supported by predictive analytics to reduce vehicle downtime and repair costs.

Future-Fit Fleets vs. other fleets
The findings from our research suggest that Future-Fit Fleets are more efficient and more likely to have a formal carbon reduction strategy in place. Their managers invest more in new technologies and experience lower instances of vehicle downtime.
The Future-Fit Fleet dividend
Seemingly small differences between the best fleets and the rest add up over time. The highest-ranking fleets in our research are calculated to be travelling up to an extra 19,000 miles each year on the same volume of fuel as their non-Future-Fit counterparts based on their fuel efficiency.
That suggests, when looking at the average-sized Future-Fit Fleet, they get around 2.8 million additional miles on the same amount of fuel. To put this number into perspective, that’s the equivalent of approximately 117 trips around the world.
