Join Ardina Ferrin and Josh Green, founder of Inspiration Mobility Group and spokesperson for the American Fleet Leadership Coalition, as they dissect the critical 45W tax credit for commercial clean vehicles.
This episode cuts through the noise and clarifies big questions around the current 45W Commercial Clean Vehicle Credit. Ferrin and Green detail who benefits and what vehicles qualify.

Beyond policy, discover the compelling advantages of electric vehicles for your operations: lower costs, increased reliability, and boosted driver satisfaction, alongside national benefits like energy resiliency. This conversation also addresses common EV misconceptions and highlights the importance of understanding complex state and local regulations. If you're managing a commercial fleet, this is an indispensable guide to navigating clean vehicle incentives and securing your fleet's future.
Tariffs have shaped the commercial vehicle industry for decades, and today’s trade war landscape presents both challenges and opportunities for dealers. In a recent podcast discussion, Steve Henning (VP Marketing) and Kathryn Schifferle (Founder & CVO) of Work Truck Solutions explored how dealers can adapt and thrive amid economic shifts.
The conversation begins with a look at the historical "chicken tax" from the 1960s, which had a profound impact on the automotive industry. Schifferle describes today’s tariff situation as a "slow crisis," one that demands strategic adaptation and deeper customer engagement rather than reactive decisions.
Henning and Schifferle emphasize that commercial customers operate differently from retail buyers—when a business vehicle is down, revenue is directly impacted. This makes proactive outreach crucial. Dealers should connect with customers early, consider asking how tariffs (or perhaps the overall economic climate) are affecting their fleet decisions, and offer solutions that strengthen long-term partnerships. Training sales teams to do things such as highlighting US-built vehicles, monitoring shifting regulations, and offering creative financing options can further help businesses navigate uncertainty.
Schifferle also emphasizes the crucial role of service departments in maintaining fleets. With new vehicle acquisitions becoming more difficult, keeping existing trucks in peak condition is paramount. A well-maintained fleet minimizes downtime and financial losses, making dealership service teams more valuable than ever.
To help dealers navigate these challenges, Schifferle introduces key resources, including industry playbooks, strategic processes, and best practices designed to foster resilience. The discussion closes with a focus on partnerships—finding trustworthy allies, maintaining transparency, and staying flexible to meet evolving customer needs.
This episode is a must-listen for commercial vehicle professionals looking to turn tariff challenges into strategic advantages.

Speaker: Gregory Skinner, Escalent, Vice President, Strategic Insights

While passenger cars are evolving towards software-defined vehicles focused on user experience, commercial vehicles offer significant opportunities in enhancing functionality through modularity, flexibility, and usability. Key strategies for the commercial vehicle space include standardization, a flexible understanding of "upfit," avoiding proprietary equipment, and expanding the dealer's role to include "upfit as a service," online presence, and consultative support. Collaboration across the industry is crucial to build an adaptable marketplace that meets evolving customer needs. The core message emphasizes a move towards more versatile commercial vehicles and a more integrated role for dealers in facilitating customization and ongoing support.

Jameel Ghata
Chief Strategy Officer, PAVE
The commercial vehicle market faces significant uncertainty, leading to a flat outlook, compounded by potential tariffs. Innovation and technology, particularly AI-powered diagnostics, are crucial for navigating this period. While EV adoption is a key focus, its 2030 market share predictions have been lowered due to challenges related to geography, use case, infrastructure, and cost. Other alternative fuels like propane and natural gas are also being considered amidst evolving engine manufacturing and regulations. Proactive inventory management, understanding local markets, dedicated sales teams, and strategic partnerships are vital for success. Dealers have an opportunity to meet evolving customer needs by offering comprehensive service packages, including fleet management and consultative solutions. The changing regulatory landscape, including tariffs, greenhouse gas rules, and California's ACF, significantly impacts the market.

Now, she discusses the incredible opportunities the segment presents to dealers, along with strategies to penetrate the market.
THE “SAFE” IN SAFEFLEET: JARED’S STORY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8d3iAn5bDCM
Jared Pridmore and his wife, Amanda are the proud owners of Precision Auto Glass in Conway, Arkansas. Their Safe Fleet story begins when they bought a new van for their growing company.
Amanda, always vigilant about safety, researched the importance of having a partition behind the van’s seats. Jared, after 20 years of driving a van without a partition, felt he didn’t need one. “We are going to order this partition, install it, and THEN you can drive the van,” Amanda declared.
“Of course, I listened to her. We ordered it and waited,” Jared conceded. Until the partition arrived, the van sat unused, a life-saving decision.
Just a few weeks after installing the Heavy-Duty Steel Partition from American Van, a Safe Fleet brand, Jared’s investment and his wife’s intuition would be put to the test.
Jared and a co-worker were inside his van idling in a road construction zone when a drunk driver crashed into the back of their vehicle at a speed between 80 to 90 miles per hour. The impact caused six Auto Glass windshields and all the van’s contents to propel toward the front of the van, where Jared and the co-worker were sitting. The partition absorbed the impact, shielding Jared and his co-worker from the glass and tools contained in the back of the van.
Reflecting on the incident, Jared said, “If we had not had that partition, there’s no telling what would’ve happened. The glass would have definitely been in the front with us. One hundred percent.”
Auto Glass, designed with lamination for extra durability and safety, is meant to prevent shattering and reduce the risk of injury during collisions when properly installed on vehicles. As cargo, however, the story plays a bit differently. “Auto Glass will cut you up,” Jared explains and, reflecting on Amanda’s insistence on waiting for the partition to drive the van, he added: “It was a blessing Amanda said, ‘I don’t feel comfortable with this.”
“If we would not have had that [the American Van partition], we probably would not be here today,” Jared emphasized.
The near-death experience left an indelible mark on Jared’s perspective. He vowed, “I’ll never own another van without a partition.” He now urges everyone, regardless of their business, to have a partition between them and what’s behind them. The American Van partition’s effectiveness in such an event reinforced its significance as a fleet safety tool.
Jared concludes, “I understand why Safe Fleet is the trusted fleet safety expert.”
Let’s build a safer future for our roads, our communities, and our people! For more information about cutting-edge safety technology solutions for fleets, visit: https://safefleet.net/products/

The CVPro Team gets an inside look in the history and foundation of the Commercial Vehicle Business Summit ahead of the Fall 2022 Event. Kathryn Schifferle, CVO, Work Truck Solutions sat down with Kevin Kinell, CTO, Work Truck Solutions to get the in depth look.
Kathryn Schifferle, CVO Work Truck Solutions, sat down with long time friend, columnist and industry name Taylor Steinberg, a longtime employee and trainer for Knapheide, to reflect on his experiences and time in the industry.
A very special Northwest Ford Truck Association (NWFTA) meeting was held at the Boeing Flight Museum on September 22nd. This was the last NWFTA meeting of the year and once President Steve Renner, from Gresham Ford, led a large turnout of around 70 members, plus Steve Kettler, Ford Seattle Regional Manager, and Dan Belick, Regional Sales Operations Manager, through a short Business Meeting, a very unique evening of three presentations began.
Ted Croce, of Summit Truck Bodies in Portland, Oregon, provided the very heart warming story of how he became the President/CEO and led the operation to become 100% employee owned, one of only about 8,000 businesses in the country to achieve this incredible feat.
Kathryn Schifferle, CVO of Work Truck Solutions, sat down for a conversation with Steve Renner, President of the North West Ford Truck Association (NWFTA) at the NWFTA meeting, Sept. 22 2002
Jason Savino of All American Auto Group sat down with Steve Henning of Work Truck Solutions for a fantastic Commercial Vehicle Pro-File Interview.
