Enterprise Helps Stoke County Reduce Its Fleet Spend by 15%

Background

Location: Stokes County, NC

Fleet Size: 94 Vehicles

Industry: Government

THE CHALLENGE

Stokes County operated an aging fleet with 56% of the vehicles at 10 years or older. The county felt the burden of increased maintenance expenses and unpredictable capital costs due to an aging fleet.

THE SOLUTION

Stokes County partnered with Enterprise Fleet Management to implement a strategy of replacing vehicles every five years and right-sizing their fleet to eliminate underutilized vehicles. The goal was to reduce the age of the fleet, offer a consistent fleet replacement strategy, lower maintenance expenses, increase fuel efficiency and improve employee safety.

THE RESULTS

Stokes County reduced their fleet size by 29%, bringing awareness to their underutilized vehicles through mileage reporting. The county was able to replace 79 vehicles in the first year of partnership which resulted in a 38% reduction in fuel spend and 60% reduction in maintenance spend. Their overall fleet budget decreased by 15% and their average age of fleet improved by 10 years.

The partnership with Enterprise Fleet Management has allowed Stokes County to replace a significant portion of the fleet across departments to improve the fleet from both a fiscal and operational perspective. Enterprise has provided continued support throughout the partnership to keep the county informed and to ensure that the fleet is operating successfully. Stokes County is very happy with the partnership we have formed.
