Large vehicle fleet savings are possible with no loss of services or jobs if you can find and dispose of surplus vehicles. However, most fleet right-sizing audits either under perform or fail. The key ingredient that is often missing is accurate vehicle utilization data that is crucial to understand vehicle demand patterns and concurrent utilization at each site.
History shows us that mileage, fuel, logbook and booking system data are either too unreliable or make no sense when performing concurrent vehicle use analysis. The sample graph below shows what is possible when quality vehicle utilization data is collected across a fleet. The Bishop Fleet Optimization study of 210 vehicles generated cost savings of US$1.1M for each 3 year replacement cycle. Our data showed that a maximum of only 138 vehicles of the same type were used at the same time. The client found that 72 (34%) vehicles were surplus to requirements. The savings were easy to defend during implementation and are typical for a Bishop Fleet Optimization audit.
