CAR Partners With NAFA Fleet Management Association for 2026 Event

 

3 min to read


The Conference of Automotive Remarketing annual event known as CAR will return to its
founding audience roots in 2026, representing the voice and interests of business owners, fleet
managers, and the engaged fleet vehicle ecosystem.


“We have heard from fleet managers and business owners of all fleet sizes who want us to
return CAR as a forum to share thoughts on business vehicle remarketing topics, including
transfer of data consent between owners, state policies limiting a business owner to remarket
their vehicles directly, and most importantly value recognition that a fleet-owned and routinely
maintained vehicle, some having telematics or safety solutions installed, demands greater
remarket dollars at the end of its lease than is currently being done,” said Colin Sutherland,
CEO of Bobit Business Media Inc. (BBM).
