Key Solutions has developed a number of tools to demonstrate the impact of cost saving initiatives to your fleet, through the potential change/shift of a single element of your fleet mix.

The Whole Life cost of a car breakdown is as follows:

Depreciation 45%
Fuel 25%
Maintenance 10%
National Insurance 7%
Interest 6%
VAT 5%
Fees 2%

Key Solutions are able to offer cost saving initiatives which impact the chart to the left, through many influences, the main ones being:

• CO2
• Vehicle Choice
• Acquisition Method
• Sourcing
• Fuel
• Accident Management
• Rotation cycle / Lifecycle

Below is a working example of the impact to a fleets costs, through changes in the average CO2, sourcing policies and contract terms across the fleet.

Simply use the sliding scale to indicate the total number of cars in your fleet (to the nearest 50 cars); the average annual business miles* driven per vehicle across your fleet (to the nearest 500); if the vehicles are mainly petrol or mainly diesel; and what your target CO2 improvement is (g/km). The tool then calculates what the potential fuel cost saving could be by achieving the improvement in average CO2 across your fleet. Then select the number of original equipment manufacturers you have today (to a maximum of 10) and the tool will calculate the potential annual sourcing saving. Finally, select the average monthly contract term for the vehicles in your fleet (24 months, 36 months or 48 months) and the tool will calculate the potential contract savings before presenting you a potential total annual saving opportunity.

* The calculation is based on miles for the UK and kilometres for EU, BE, DE, ES, FR, IT, NL, PT, SE
