More than 120 Fleet experts attended the CVO conference
“Fuhrpark der Zukunft   Barometer 2006”

Joachim von Schorlemer, Head of Territory Germany, and Vincent Rupied, Chairman of CVO Germany, opened the 2nd CVO Conference in Frankfurt on May 15th. The CVO Germany presented the results of the international survey “Barometer 2006”. 2,712 fleet managers of different fleet sizes 400 in Germany were questioned about local practices and major trends. The current survey results were presented by Hans-Jürgen Kräh, TNS Infratest.

The survey focused on
• Decision makers moral
• Trends in fleet financing
• Service trends and technical innovations
• Environmentally friendly fleets

The annual Barometer survey is an instrument to determine trends, developments and prospects of the European fleet market.

Besides the Barometer 2006 the main focus of this year’s conference was hybrid technologies. Hans-Peter Wandt, Toyota Germany, introduced the hybrid drive exemplified on Toyota. Dr. Michael Borgmann, PricewaterhouseCoopers, presented the practicability of hybrid driven vehicles for fleets.





Like last year, Birte Karalus guided through the conference and tested very charmingly the participants’ knowledge with the help of online ted-questions which were evaluated in real time.

This very successful conference underlined the importance of the CVO as a neutral and reliable platform for fleet managers and experts.
