Actual Whole Life Cost
This system was first tried out in 1997, since then Actual Whole Life Cost has been proven to be the most precise and transparent whole life cost mechanism available, helping our clients structure their company
· Which manufacturers and models should be selected
· Which funding product should be used
· The true cost of fleet
· The period of time and mileage is appropriate for life cycles and contracts
· How grade boundaries are set & which vehicles fit into which grade
· Generating and enhancing cash allowances and flexible benefits.
The AWLC calculation is made up of
· Depreciation
· Company tax, Capital allowances & National Insurance
· Service, maintenance and repair spend (SMR)
· Non scheduled repair spend (e.g. breakdown)
· Finance expenditure
· Insurance
· Petrol
· Breakdown services
· Average unrecoverable expenditure per vehicle
· Non scheduled spend
· Admin spend
· Vehicle usage
TM uses constantly updated data and not calculations based upon leasing rentals which other systems do, with info coming from
· Fuel providers
· Contract hire providers
· Insurers & Brokers
· Vehicle production companies
· Rospa
· Department of Transport
· ICME repair times
· Historic maintenance cost from TM's database of motor cars and that of over 100 large vehicle operators
· Over 825,000 running motor cars
A consequence of this structure is that an AWLC has a max variance of 3% versus actual cost. TMVM are the only fleet management supplier that offers this format and degree of precision.
Also, in 2006 we created the Vehicle & Driver monitoring module within the Actual Whole Life Cost system, this allows us to study in real time, spend and trends and to create future processes accordingly
Vehicle and Driver Monitoring analyses
· SMR costs
· Fuel spend
· Breakdowns
· Accidents, with Accident Management
· Pence per mile spend
· Wear and tear
It then compares
· Vehicle against vehicle,
· Driver against driver
Within
· Your own fleet
· That of our other customers
· Over 825 other fleet users
This enables us to accurately study and then identify potential issues and to act accordingly all leading to the ultimate vehicle management tool.
