Key Things to Watch
1. EV Push Under Biden
A Biden win would fast-track the shift to electric vehicles (EVs). His Executive Order 14057 mandates 100% zero-emission vehicle acquisitions by 2035, with light-duty acquisitions by 2027. This shift means fleet managers must pivot to EV maintenance and tracking, partnering with educational institutions to upskill workers.Trump’s victory would likely reverse many green initiatives. Despite his attempts to court Elon Musk’s favor, Trump shows little interest in zero-emission vehicles.
2. Military Expansion Under Trump
Expect a significant boost in military fleets, especially the Navy, if Trump is returned to office. Trump’s previous term called for a 350-ship Navy, up from the current 300. A stronger “Buy American” focus would benefit contractors in fleet maintenance and tracking.

Preparing for Both Outcomes
Contractors should invest in EV training and infrastructure, upgrade fleet management systems, and prepare for expanded military contracts. Adapting to either scenario ensures readiness for the evolving fleet management landscape.
