TCO+  A game-changing, consultative approach
TCO+ analysis: find the right vehicles to meet your fleet need

What is TCO+?

Predicted fleet costs often doesn’t correlate with actual in-life fleet costs, especially with LCVs. ALD Automotive’s TCO+ offers a game changing consultative approach. Through a systematic analysis of your fleet’s performance, TCO+ identifies the most suitable light commercial vehicles (LCV) for your business.

TCO looks at the total cost of a vehicle, based on the contracted mileage, maintenance rental, finance rental, and other associated costs, such as tax implications. However, it doesn’t calculate the costs of the vehicle when it’s off the road, which can attract many costs.

TCO+, however, is based on the vehicle’s actual performance - physically, operationally and financially. It can also help you environmentally, showcasing how to bring eLCVs into your fleet and any additional charging requirements. Plus, it includes the vehicle’s short and long-term reliability based on the OEM’s performance records and their in-life maintenance offering, all prepared for you by our Fleet Consultants.

By collating all your operational needs and in-life running costs, such as vehicle off-road (VOR) downtime, eLCV charging requirements and any potential infrastructure upgrades, TCO+ can provide a more realistic TCO figure.
Features and Benefits:

  • Collates and compares the manufacturer data for all vehicles available on the market today.
  • Highlights specific locations your drivers may find difficult to get the vehicle to, or dealerships' with poor track records, helping your fleet's operational efficiency.
  • Uses your fleet’s historic data to make decisions for the future, from predicting the impacts of extending vehicle leases to how your fleet decisions will affect downtime costs.
  • Over 20 different charging and journey scenarios, as well as the impact that public charging, home and work charging can have on the associated cost and operational impact (including downtime).
  • Monitor your vehicles through telematics to learn how they operate and perform, helping you with future decision making.
