Manage your TCO effectively
The cost of a vehicle is not limited to its purchase price. When managing a fleet, it is important to consider all the costs associated with operating a vehicle. This is called the total cost of ownership (TCO). It includes maintenance, fuel, insurance and also depreciation.
Direct costs include depreciation, interest, vehicle repairs and maintenance, tires, insurance, fuel consumption, taxes, and fleet management fees. Fleet overhead, while more difficult to quantify, have a significant impact on your bottom line. These costs include time spent on fleet management processes and administration, as well as factors related to employee productivity, such as downtime and driver motivation.

Using our Ayvens fleet reporting tool and Ayvens' expertise, we help you identify opportunities for cost improvement.
