Driving sustainablility and savings with Ayvens.
Fleet costs are made up of many factors and staying on top of them is essential for any business to budget for the future. Whether you aim to monitor or manage your fleet expenses over time, create initiatives for cost improvement, or plan strategically, we are here to assist you. Ayvens has the experience to help you analyse the total cost of fleet enabling better-informed decisions and strategic planning.
Manage your TCO efficiently
The cost of a vehicle is more than just the purchase price. When managing a fleet, it’s important to look at all costs that go into operation a vehicle. This is called the total cost of ownership (TCO). It includes maintenance, fuel, insurance, and depreciation too.
Managing direct and indirect costs
Direct costs consist of depreciation, interest, vehicle repair and maintenance, tyres, insurance, fuel consumption, tax, and fleet management fees. Indirect fleet costs, though trickier to quantify, significantly impact your bottom line. These include time spent on fleet management processes and administration, as well as employee productivity factors like driver downtime and motivation.
Optimising expenses
Beyond competitive procurement practices that reduce fleet costs, core changes in your fleet’s structure can yield substantial long-term savings. Utilising our Ayvens fleet reporting tool and Ayvens’ expertise, we help you spot opportunities for cost improvement.
Understanding the key components of your TCO allows us to implement strategies that control expenses, ensuring a more cost-effective and efficient fleet management.
Methods to optimise your fleet's TCO
Fleet analysis
A fleet analysis provides an overview of the municipality’s current vehicle fleet and estimates total operating cost. The fleet analysis also includes an assessment of which parts of the operation should be optimised, and an estimate of potential savings.
The flow analysis also includes a description of overall environmental impact (CO₂-emissions) for the municipal fleet, both at present and after changing to a new fleet.
What is a fleet analysis?
In a fleet analysis, one looks at the following aspects:
- Selection of make and model
- Optimal period
- Selection of fuel type
- Maintenance
- Damages
- Sale of vehicles
- Selection of change date
- Size of vans
