Ford's Fleet Business Growth: Ford has transformed its fleet business into a significant profit center, generating approximately $18.7 billion in adjusted earnings since 2021, leading the market with a 30% share of new fleet vehicle registrations, while competitors GM and Stellantis are restructuring to enhance their own fleet operations.
Competitive Landscape and EV Opportunities: As Ford leads in fleet sales, GM and Stellantis are ramping up their efforts in this sector, focusing on profitability through services and electric vehicles (EVs), with GM launching "GM Envolve" for comprehensive fleet solutions and Stellantis revamping its Ram Professional unit to compete more effectively.
