About FleetNo
Who’s behind the wheel?
Hey there, I’m ILIAS, founder, researcher, and the only set of hands on FleetNo. If you’ve landed on this site, there’s a good chance you’re seeking honest and clear information on cars: what’s new, worth money, and how to keep a vehicle without breaking your bank. I created this site because I wanted these answers myself first, and then why not publish openly for fellow drivers so that they don’t have to dig through several disjointed sources as I used to?
Why FleetNo exists
Breaking news: cars go faster today than on any other day. One day, there is a new development in electric cars, and another day, there is a surprise recall and a novel model of funding. News is everywhere, but genuine explanatory facts are hard to find. FleetNo tries:
- Filter the noise. I track daily headlines, press releases, and owner-forum chatter so you see only developments that actually matter.
- Translate the tech. Specs and marketing jargon can blur into alphabet soup. I rewrite them in everyday language.
- Put advice into context. Facts don’t do any good if you can’t grasp what they mean for your commute, budget, or driveway.
What you will find here
- News briefs—concise updates on launches, technology shifts, industry regulations, and recalls, each ending with a “Why you should care” takeaway.
- Reviews—balanced looks at strengths, weaknesses, and day-to-day usability, based on a mix of press drives, third-party test data, and owner reports.
- Guides and how-tos—practical walkthroughs on topics such as securing a fair loan rate, extending an EV battery’s life, or decoding trim-level options when you are shopping used.
If it rolls on four wheels and could affect your wallet or daily driving experience, it belongs on FleetNo.
How each article is produced
- Source gathering
- Press kits for hard numbers (dimensions, power figures, safety ratings)
- Government or safety-agency databases for recalls and crash-test scores
- Owner forums and long-term reviews to capture real-life hiccups that brochures ignore
- AI as a research assistant
I filter through huge numbers with homegrown software, for example, to find model years that generate the most warranty costs. Every sentence and observation is written or assembled by me before going to print. Technology accelerates grunt work; technology does not replace human judgment. - Cross-checking and citations
Before I hit Publish, I double-check numbers with at least two different sources and include links or footnotes so that you can verify them yourself. - Living documents
Pricing on cars, programs for incentives, and regulations can shift instantly. Essential reviews and guides get updated continuously, and date-stamped update notes provide details on just what was altered.
Editorial principles
- Accuracy first—breaking a story matters less than getting it right.
- Plain language—the goal is to inform, not impress with jargon.
- No hidden agendas—any advertisement, affiliate link, or sponsored post is clearly labeled. FleetNo does not accept compensation for positive coverage.
- Reader corrections are welcomed—if you spot an error, email me; confirmed mistakes are fixed promptly with a visible correction note.
About me, the person behind the posts
I don’t claim decades of professional journalism or a badge wall’s worth of manufacturer press credentials. What I do bring is a lifelong interest in how cars work and how we use them. It manifests on nights studying comparison spreadsheets on reliability, weekend evenings crawling through mates’ cars figuring out weird noises, and entirely too many hours watching launch-event live streams just so you don’t have to. FleetNo is the natural next step from that hobbyist work, wherein research becomes readable advice.
