Fleet ReplacementYou may not immediately see the trend of increased breakdowns and maintenance costs, but soon the reports will grow more and more frequent. A reduction in performance from some of the trucks in your fleet can be a burden and an expense to your company. More time spent in the repair shop. A few roadside emergencies here and there. And a sudden ballooning of your truck fleet maintenance expenses.

All of these are signs that trucks in your fleet are coming to their end of life. For those who manage a corporate fleet, it may be time to take a careful look at your truck fleet and start the process of replacing vehicles.

When to Replace?

The goal is reaching the lowest cost portion of a truck’s lifecycle, while still maximizing a truck’s productivity. There are a number of factors to take into account.

  • Purchase price of a new vehicle
  • Estimated maintenance and repair costs for old fleet vs. new fleet
  • Vehicle depreciation rates in both first year and future years
  • Lifecycle maintenance and operating costs, adjusted for inflation
  • Capital expenditure and interest costs
