Reducing total cost of ownership


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.
