Running Costs

Careful management will reduce your fleet running costs significantly

After payroll, vehicles are the most expensive cost to your business, and the ability for you to pro-actively reduce these costs has never been of more critical importance.

Many companies have successfully introduced initiatives to focus on vehicle cost reduction, with related reduction in carbon emissions, and have made considerable savings. At UK Fleet Manager, we constantly monitor this type of activity across the corporate fleet sector and make ‘best practice’ recommendations to all our clients.

These are  a company should consider to reduce fleet running costs:

  • Get a grip on fuel use – analyse cost and consumption by driver and set targets
  • Control your servicing – you’d be amazed how many garages overcharge
  • Look at tyre replacements – are they wearing out too soon, or getting damaged? Why?
  • Reduce vehicle ‘downtime’ – find out why your vehicles are spending time off the road
  • Get your drivers to work smarter – are they using technology to its full potential?
  • Train your drivers in journey planning

 

 

UK Fleet Manager helps with practical guidance on these, and much more to make your business perform better. Contact us if you would like to make a BIG difference to your company today.
