How much can a fleet really cost?

  Assessing how much a fleet vehicle will cost your organization goes a lot deeper than just looking at the sticker costs. Lifecycle costs can be summarized into two buckets―ownership costs and operations costs.

  The upfront costs of purchasing a vehicle can include administrative procurement costs, such as the time to spec the vehicle, source the best options and finalize contracts. Ownership costs also include interest, inflation, disposal costs and the biggest single expense, depreciation.

  The costs of operations represent about one-third of the total costs of ownership and include fuel, maintenance and incidental expenses.

Optimizing Your Fleet For Your Money!

  Are you utilizing your vehicles in the most efficient manner?  More importantly, how do you know you are?
  A telematics solution can help answer these questions by providing detailed information about when, where, and how your vehicles are used. You can easily track trend data for trips taken, days utilized, average and peak use, and other fleet performance metrics. This easy-to-understand information helps you make informed decisions to improve vehicle utilization throughout your fleet.
  For example, tracking vehicle usage on a daily, weekly or monthly basis can help identify which vehicles might be under- or over-utilized. Non-essential vehicles can be re-purposed in other areas or departments, and over-utilized vehicles can be scaled back to reduce wear and tear. You can also use customizable reports to track short- and long-term driving patterns to help improve fleet efficiency.
  You can also receive odd-hours alerts, notifying you of unauthorized vehicle usage as it occurs. Monitoring inappropriate after-hours usage can help lower operational costs and extend the life of your vehicles.

Optimize Fleet Size
  How do you determine the ideal size for your fleet? Again, GPS tracking can provide the data you need to make smart management decisions.
  For example, large enterprise or public agency fleets often keep older and non-essential vehicles as backups, thereby creating a bigger fleet than necessary. With telematics, you can analyze average vehicle utilization by model and by year, revealing inefficient use of older vehicles and making them candidates for elimination.
  You can also analyze maintenance issues by make and model - such as highest breakdown rates and repair costs - to determine which vehicles might be candidates for elimination or replacement. And you can identify which vehicles deliver the best fuel efficiencies, and phase out those with poor performance ratings.
  Even if you don't need to downsize your fleet, you can still generate cost savings in lieu of getting rid of vehicles. Engine diagnostic alerts, online maintenance histories, and streamlined maintenance scheduling can extend the life of your vehicles and delay the cost of purchasing new ones. They also help reduce unexpected roadside breakdowns and the resulting costly repairs.
