Hello,
Normally, it's a "fleets" would be "flottes" (de véhicules), but I'm not sure how to translate "fleets" in the following sentences:
-Gives fleets control over the cost of tire replacement...
-Fleets find that the device pays for itself (a device installed on vehicules)...
Propriétaires des flottes de véhicules? Entreprises opérant des flottes? Any other suggestion?
Thanks a lot!

Selected
gérant de parc de véhicules /
the way it's used in the ST "fleet" is personified; as this usage sounds odd in French, simply change it to a real person - the fleet manager.
-Gives fleets control over the cost of tire replacement...
-Fleets find that the device pays for itself (a device installed on vehicules)...
=>
-Gives fleet managers control over the cost of tire replacement...
-Fleet managers find that the device pays for itself (a device installed on vehicules)...

"flottes de véhicules" ou "flottes automobiles"
Les termes "flotte de véhicule" et "flotte automobile" sont majoritairement employés pour désigner les véhicules opérationnels. Le terme parc est plus général, il désigne à la fois les véhicules en service (la flotte) et les véhicules en stock (parcs de véhicules d'occasion d'un négociant, par exemple).
Les assurances utilisent fréquemment le terme "assurance flotte"

Le terme gébnéralement utilisé est flotte ou parc si vous préférez.

Sorry, but I don't see why you refer to «gérant» since when I wrote «parc de véhicules» here it was either «l'entreprise elle-même» or « son propriétaire ou bien la corporation» operating this company as the asker clearly mentioned it. There is no indication that the «manager» is involved here. And personally, MyFairLady I would go for LES DIRIGEANTS DU PARC DE VÉHICULES it is simpler this way.

Example sentence:
Il semblerait qu'il leur soit même difficile d'assurer la maintenance de leur parc...

: You got it right ON THE WRONG TARGET // the problem here IS NOT whether a "fleet" is "un parc" or "une flotte" the real problem is in the fact that "fleet" was personified, and you can't do that in French - sounds too odd in this ST
