Penske’s 2025 Transportation Leaders Survey underscores the growing demand for AI within the transportation industry. According to the survey, 93% of senior decision-makers believe AI improves organizational resilience, while over half see benchmarking fleet performance against peers as a pathway to greater efficiency.
