Prestigious honor ranks Essential, plus
subsidiaries Aqua and Peoples Natural Gas, first among thousands of
North America’s fleets, driven by company’s peak performance and
innovation
Essential Utilities Inc. has topped the list of the Best 100
Fleets in the Americas. The distinguished award was announced by
the National Fleet Management Association (NAFA). Essential earned
the number one spot in the commercial category, besting thousands
of other companies.
“I am enormously proud of our employees who keep 2,300 vehicles
and 1,100 pieces of equipment on the road every day,” said Charlie
Stevenson, vice president, fleet for Essential Utilities. “This
recognition is a testament to our team’s development through
various certifications and continuous improvement initiatives,
demonstrating their commitment to lifelong learning in fleet
operations.”
The 100 Best Fleets contest recognizes peak-performing fleet
operations, celebrating innovation within the commercial fleet
industry. The contest, now in its 25th year, aims to foster pride
in the industry, build recognition, and increase productivity and
effectiveness. It also serves to encourage more people to choose a
career in fleet operations.
“The 100 Best Fleets contest plays such an integral role in the
NAFA community,” says Mike Camnetar, CAFM, NAFA Board President.
“These awards showcase the outstanding achievements and leadership
within our industry. We commend these fleets and individuals for
their dedication to excellence and innovation, and we look forward
to seeing what they accomplish in 2024.”
Companies are evaluated for organizational accountability,
operational management and efficiency, sustainability and
professional development.
Essential has previously been honored as a top 100 fleet, though
this is its first time receiving top marks in the competition. Aqua
Fleet Manager Kevin Grafstrom accepted the award for Best
Commercial Fleet on behalf of Essential at NAFA’s 2024 Institute
& Expo in San Antonio, TX. For more information on the Best 100
