Here’s a roundup of the stories and releases you may have missed:
code key 25 sets a new standard for smarter fleet maintenance
One of the standout moments of the year was the arrival of Code Key 25 in AMCS Fleet Maintenance. Developed by the Technology & Maintenance Council (TMC) following a multi-year industry effort, AMCS became the first to bring this capability to market. A milestone that didn’t just check a box but genuinely providing fleet operators a practical way to move from scheduled maintenance to predictive maintenance.
Instead of relying on inconsistent descriptions or fixed service schedules, fleets now have a standardized way to track what’s happening with their vehicles and why. And that’s the real shift: Code Key 25 makes it easier to base maintenance on real‑time conditions rather than guesswork, helping teams cut costs, avoid breakdowns, and run more sustainably. It’s a long‑overdue layer of structure and clarity that brings a new level of confidence to everyday maintenance decisions.
preventive maintenance takes center stage
Propelled by rising operations costs, tighter margins, and heightened pressure to keep assets performing at their best, preventive maintenance emerged as a defining priority for fleets in 2025. It came up again and again, not just as a cost-saving tactic, but as a way for teams to get ahead of the daily chaos that comes with running a fleet.
One of the conversations that resonated most this year was around how a tech-powered fleet can make day-to-day operations easier by providing teams with real-time insight into vehicle performance, helping them identify and address small issues before they escalate into major problems.
We also dug deeper into the long-term impact of deferred maintenance in Journey to Fleet Safety: The Hidden Costs of Ignoring Maintenance. It breaks down how those “we’ll get to it later” repairs quietly undermine budgets, disrupt schedules, and create avoidable safety risks. Paired with the growing role of digital tools, the message is clear: fleets that build preventive maintenance into their everyday rhythm, not just their annual planning, are the ones setting themselves up to operate safely, sustainably, and efficiently long-term. For teams focused on protecting both their equipment and their people, it’s a practical guide worth exploring.
Qv21 technologies rebrands as AMCS bulk hauling
In May 2025, AMCS completed the brand migration of Qv21 Technologies, now operating as AMCS Bulk Hauling. More than just a name change, it brings Qv21’s strengths directly into the AMCS Platform, expanding its capabilities for resource-intensive industries aiming to improve efficiency and accelerate sustainability progress. AMCS Bulk Hauling helps short-haul bulk trucking companies track trucks, manage dispatch and ticketing, and automate payroll and invoicing, all in real time. By combining GPS tracking and business intelligence dashboards, fleets can reduce waste and optimize resource use, all while improving profitability and advancing sustainability goals.

the pinkpaper marks a new chapter in fleet industry insight
In 2025, we reimagined the traditional whitepaper, shaping a bold new way to explore the year’s most pressing industry challenges, wrapped in our signature pink. Turning Fleet Maintenance into Money became our second pinkpaper release, following the debut edition, The No-Nonsense Guide to EHS Excellence.
This guide explores the financial impact of preventive maintenance, the role of digital tools in reducing downtime, and the everyday habits that set top‑performing fleets apart. It’s built for fleet managers, operations leaders, and maintenance teams who want clear, practical insight without the fluff. By pulling together meaningful fleet industry stats and perspectives from people who live this work every day, the pinkpaper shows not just what high performers do differently, but how those choices turn into real operational and financial gains.
looking toward what’s next
If 2025 showed us anything, it’s that the industry is moving fast. And fleets that embrace smarter tools and proactive strategies are the ones pulling in front. In 2026, the coming year will bring its own changes, but the direction of travel is unmistakable: connected, controlled, and confident operations will continue to shape the road ahead.
