The Real Cost of Not Knowing Your Costs
Discover how OEM data and real-time vehicle data can help you identify hidden costs, improve vehicle utilisation, and regain control over the true cost of your fleet.
In this e-book, you'll learn how to:
- Identify the hidden costs that traditional TCO models overlook
- Assess why real-time data is essential for managing a modern fleet
- Implement a concrete method for reducing operating costs using vehicle data
What You'll Find in the E-book
The New TCO Model
Why TCO can no longer be managed solely based on averages, invoices, and historical data.
The Hidden Costs of the Fleet
Downtime, underutilization, fragmented costs, fraud, delayed maintenance: areas where costs pile up without being detected in time.
The Role of Connected Vehicle Data
How OEM data makes it possible to track mileage, energy usage, location, maintenance, and actual usage without additional hardware.
A Practical Approach
A step-by-step plan for transitioning from passive cost tracking to continuous, proactive management.
Why TCO Is Becoming Harder to Manage
Fleets are operating in an increasingly complex environment: electrification, rising energy costs, diverse usage patterns, regulatory pressure, and heightened reporting expectations.
In this context, the real risk is no longer just paying too much. It’s discovering too late where costs are actually being generated.
Fleets already have the data. The challenge is to make it actionable.
98%
New vehicles can already be connected remotely without any additional hardware*
30%
Fleet vehicles may be underutilized without this being apparent in traditional tools*
Up to 50%
Potential fuel consumption reduction for certain PHEV fleets through improved management of charging habits*
