Professor Colin Tourick asked VRA members about the remarketing industry. When he asked companies regarding this particular sector he found many felt they would probably not survive a downturn. In fact one in four said yes they would survive, meaning about 26.9 per cent have confidence in the sector.

84.6 per cent of companies asked felt they were finding undue pressure in certain areas, especially in what they can charge for their services. This pressure is not being reduced by vehicle tracking aims. Instead, fuel costs and other increases are causing difficultly. In the next 12 months savings found with GPS tracking may not be enough.

When asked if normality would reappear within the next 12 months, the answer was that 35 per cent felt it could. That leaves 65 per cent thinking normalcy won’t return until 2012 and possibly it will be 18 months before the industry stabilises. 16 per cent said they have already returned to normal operations and will continue to use fleet tracking to find more savings to lower their pressure in other sectors. These fleets feel confident in ordering new vehicles for their fleets, while most of the industry does not feel that same confidence.
