The automotive dealership model is constantly facing change, especially in the types of vehicles retailers can service. In particular, as the commercial vehicle market shifts toward opportunities for electrification within their vehicle fleets, local dealerships are being called upon to do more than sell vehicles. They must become strategic partners in their customers’ sustainability journeys — for both passenger vehicles and that of fleet customers.

Tires usually rank among the top two expenses for fleets, and they’re often a source of frustration. That’s exactly where commercial tire dealers can shine. For long-haul fleet tire customers, value goes beyond just selling tires.

Although technically a lot simpler, mechanical speaking, than their internal combustion engine (ICE) counterparts, electric cars are also a lot more complicated. That's because they rely on a wide range of sensors and algorithms to function properly - in some sense, they are also a bit more complicated to build, and more expensive, too, as they require materials that are not that easy to come by, and not at all cheap to own.
