A method for operating a fleet of vehicles is provided comprising receiving, from a first vehicle of the fleet of vehicles, first vehicle state information comprising a location of the first vehicle and receiving, from a second vehicle of the fleet of vehicles, second vehicle state information comprising a location of the second vehicle. The method further comprises generating a display comprising a first vehicle representation based on the location of the first vehicle, and a second vehicle representation based on the location of the second vehicle, and controlling the operation of the second vehicle within an area defined by an overlap of a second geofence based upon an energy estimate of the second vehicle with a first geofence based upon the first vehicle.

Method of operation for a fleet of vehicles

A side by side vehicle is disclosed having a vehicle frame having frame tubes extending from a front to a rear. A vehicle seat frame is positioned in a mid portion of the frame, and positions a seat frame at a raised position relative to the frame tubes. A powertrain is positioned rearward of the vehicle seat frame and is coupled to the vehicle frame. Side by side seats are supported by the seat frame; and one or more storage units are positioned under the side by side seats. The side by side vehicle also has a rear suspension comprising at least one rear alignment arm coupled to each side of a rear of the vehicle frame, where the alignment arms are coupled to the vehicle frame at front and rear connection points. A distance between the front connection points is greater than a distance between the rear connection points, and at least a portion of the powertrain is positioned between the front connection points of the alignment arms.
