Fleet Management: Vehicle TCO, Replacement Cycles & EV vs Diesel

Manage a service-van fleet by the numbers: cost per km, TCO with NPV, the optimal replacement age, lease vs buy, EV vs diesel, utilisation, fuel card anomalies and maintenance planning, with every cell checked as you go.

What you'll build

What you will be able to do

Each lab ends with a concrete result that you build yourself and the checker confirms, cell by cell.

  • Work out what one kilometre really costs Alder Valley Services' van V-07, line by line.
  • Lay out every cost of van V-07 over five years, year by year, and discount them into one TCO figure.
  • Find the age at which a service van should be replaced: the age with the lowest equivalent annual cost (EAC).
  • Compare buying van V-13 with a 48-month full-service lease by the present value of all costs.
  • Compare a diesel van with an electric van per year – including the charging mix and an internal carbon price – and find the yearly distance where the EV starts to pay off.
  • Measure how much each van is really used, flag the under-used ones and work out how many vans the fleet actually needs.
  • Turn a month of fuel card data into litres per 100 km and use z-scores to find the van whose fuel use does not fit.
  • Measure how often the vans break down (MTBF) and test whether a preventive maintenance plan pays for itself.

About this course

Vehicles are among the largest costs many companies carry, and small decisions add up across a fleet. You calculate cost per kilometre from fuel, tyres, depreciation and fixed costs, then total cost of ownership over the holding period in present value terms. The minimum equivalent annual cost reveals the best replacement age, and the present value of costs decides between leasing and buying. An electric versus diesel comparison covers charging cost, CO2 and break-even mileage. Utilisation data show where the fleet can be right-sized, z-scores flag unusual fuel card transactions, and a maintenance lab uses mean time between failures to compare preventive with breakdown repairs. For fleet managers, transport coordinators and operations analysts.
