The two organisations will promote professional development and standardization of operational practices in the fleet management field, and will work together to develop new training and benchmarking material that can help to identify and remedy inefficient practices.

“Our two associations share a common vision of reducing energy consumption in our members’ vast fleets of vehicles,” said NAFA chief executive officer Phillip E Russo.  “This collaboration will enable us to provide real benefit to the cable industry and the communities it serves by paving the way for the institution of procedures – including our Sustainable Fleet Accreditation Program – that can reduce fuel consumption, costs and emissions.”   

Chris Bastian, senior vice president and chief technical officer of SCTE, added: “By collaborating more closely, we can expand the impact of our current inventories of training and best practices, and can draw on each other’s experiences to create new opportunities to achieve our energy efficiency targets.”
