Fuel
Usually the largest running cost and the one measured worst. What the vehicle reports, and what reconciling it against the card reveals.
Analysis
What it costs
The vehicles you are paying for and not using are usually the first finding, and the one that funds the deployment.
9 notes
Vehicles You Are Paying For and Not Using
The finding that funds most telematics deployments, available in the first month, and almost never looked for.
Analysis
What a Vehicle Actually Costs
Purchase price is the smallest component. Assembling the real figure, and what it changes about replacement.
Procedure
Electric Vehicles
The data that matters changes completely, and the operational constraint moves from fuel stops to depot power.
Analysis
Vehicle Off Road
The cost nobody owns, how to measure it, and why it changes the argument about spare vehicles.
Analysis
Cost Per Mile and Its Traps
The standard fleet measure, what it should contain, and the four ways it is calculated into meaninglessness.
Reference
When to Replace a Vehicle
Fixed replacement policies are wrong for most of the fleet. Finding the point where a vehicle starts costing more than it saves.
Procedure
Idling
The largest recoverable fuel cost in urban fleets, the easiest to measure, and the one most often turned into a bad target.
Analysis
Seasons and Weather
Consumption, range and failures all move with the season, which makes any single-quarter comparison misleading.
