2) we are also keen on understanding how we can achieve savings while procuring fleet of light duty trucks
a. Can volume tier discount be leveraged while fleet procurement? Do the oem’s follow a volume tier structure for discounts?
B. Is there any typical rebate structure offered by oem (monthly or annual)?
C. As prices for light duty trucks are increasing, are discounts expected to go down or up to offset price increases?
