Reducing total cost of ownership

Higher costs and lower margins are putting your business under growing pressure to operate more efficiently. Our energy solutions can help you cut costs and unlock efficiency – thus reducing the total cost of ownership of your fleet or equipment.

By working together, we can help you achieve your business ambitions, today and tomorrow.

The challenge: Increasing output while reducing costs¹

Almost 2 in 5 companies do not consider the role of fuel in total cost of ownership.

45% admit that fuel choice contributed to unplanned downtime.

Over half say they could reduce their operating costs by 10% or more each month if they were able to manage fuel usage effectively.

1Based on a survey with decision-making staff from the fleet and the construction industries, commissioned by Shell and conducted by Edelman Intelligence.

The total cost of ownership of your fleet includes the cost of your fuel but also much more:

  • The potential increase in costs due to improper selection of fuels.
  • The total cost of the correct maintenance and business processes.
  • The potential decrease in component life owing to poor maintenance.
  • Other variable costs related to fuel management such as leaks, handling/dispensing, admin, training, and others.
