[Linchpin](https://linchpinseo.com/trends-commercial-vehicle-industry/), a digital agency based in the US, recently released its pick of top trends that are doing the rounds in the industry.   ## Top trends in the commercial vehicle industry Unsurprisingly, Linchpin links the transformation of the vehicle industries with developments in digital tech and customer needs.   Trends that have been present over the past decade – including value-added services, alternative-fuel power vehicles and electric cars – still have a strong influence on the industry.   Newer trends include alternative or new forms of car ownership such as e-powered ride-hailing and subscription services.   Agility and innovation is Linchpin’s top pick for trends affecting commercial vehicles. It points to the importance of IT departments in strategic processes and the necessity of experts in the production pipeline, product development and commercial departments.   Technology features strongly with connectivity and data, and electric and autonomous vehicles taking second and third spots on the list respectively.   They are followed by usage-based insurance packages which show that shared economy business models are filtering through to the industry.   The long-anticipated self-driving vehicle rounds out the top-five slots.   Sixth on the list of trends affecting commercial vehicles are monitoring and tracking devices. Linchpin points out the value of using sensors and data to the benefit of vehicles and drivers and for better overall efficiency.   Find out more about the advantages that our [Telematics solution](https://www.avisfleet.co.za/solutions/telematics/)provides for customers, and how our [Fleet Reporting](https://www.avisfleet.co.za/solutions/fleet-reporting/) will ensure a seamless fleet operation.   Check out Linchpin’s [full list of trends here](https://linchpinseo.com/trends-commercial-vehicle-industry/).   Avis Fleet solutions are a comprehensive offering that enhance every aspect of fleet management and reduce risk.   We have solutions that help customers with everything from vehicle acquisition to maintenance, Telematics and making provisions for accidents.   [Find out about our fleet management solutions](https://www.avisfleet.co.za/solutions/), and subscribe to stay updated about the latest industry insights.   [![Subscribe For Industry Insights](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/483927/e73ce63a-3638-4d33-911f-17b6c18a05f0.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/483927/e73ce63a-3638-4d33-911f-17b6c18a05f0) [Back](https://blog.avisfleet.co.za/latest-news/) | [All posts](https://blog.avisfleet.co.za/latest-news/) ##### You might also like ![Why data accuracy is your most important fleet asset](https://blog.avisfleet.co.za/hubfs/Avis_April_Content-16.jpg) [Why data accuracy is your most important fleet asset](https://blog.avisfleet.co.za/latest-news/why-data-accuracy-is-your-most-important-fleet-asset) October 12, 2021 ![Fleet Telematics explained](https://blog.avisfleet.co.za/hubfs/Telematics.png) [Fleet Telematics explained](https://blog.avisfleet.co.za/latest-news/fleet-telematics-explained) October 12, 2021 ![Tips to manage and reduce your fuel cost](https://blog.avisfleet.co.za/hubfs/Blog%20Images/Tips%20to%20manage%20and%20reduce%20your%20fuel%20cost.jpg) [Tips to manage and reduce your fuel cost](https://blog.avisfleet.co.za/latest-news/tips-to-manage-and-reduce-your-fuel-cost) October 12, 2021 [![twitter icon (1)](https://blog.avisfleet.co.za/hubfs/twitter%20icon%20(1).svg)](https://twitter.com/avis_fleet) [![linkedin icon (1)](https://blog.avisfleet.co.za/hubfs/linkedin%20icon%20(1).svg)](https://www.linkedin.com/company/avis-fleet/?originalSubdomain=za) - Assist Numbers - [Driver Emergency 0800 540 740](tel:0800540740) - [Road Side Assistance 0800 117 686](tel:0800117686) - [Want to buy a car? 011 973 7300](tel:0119737300) - [Intelligent Fuel Bureau 031 466 2583](tel:0314662583) - [Accident Management 0800 033 002](tel:0800033002) - [Find out more 011 552 9000](tel:0115529000) - [About us](https://www.avisfleet.co.za/about-us) - [Careers](https://www.linkedin.com/company/zeda-southern-africa/jobs/) - [Solutions](https://www.avisfleet.co.za/solutions) - [Blog](https://blog.avisfleet.co.za/latest-news) - [Contact us](https://www.avisfleet.co.za/contact-us) - [Countries](https://www.avisfleet.co.za/countries/zambia) - [Service history](https://service-history.avisfleet.co.za/) Copyright 2026. [Avis Fleet Solutions](https://www.avisfleet.co.za/).
