Forming part of the firm’s Fleet Matters series of publications, the guide shows how accurate, comprehensive costing has to cover a vehicle’s whole life with the fleet. It gives a detailed breakdown of options from initial acquisition through to eventual disposal. It also covers costs incurred during the vehicle’s lifetime, with suggestions on reducing them. 

Each issue of Fleet Matters offers clear advice relevant to any type or size of fleet, including owner-drivers with single vehicles, as well as leased and ‘grey’ fleets. Each section concludes with specific ‘Action Points,’ designed for relevance to any type of road vehicle and to both private and public sectors.  

Steve Clarke, group marketing manager, said: “Fuel Card Services has long experience in helping with vehicle management. We are working with fleets every day, helping everyone from public sector transport managers with just a few vans to private sector fleets comprising for hundreds of mixed vehicles. We understand fleet managers’ issues, from fuel consumption to sustainability, through talking with them constantly. It takes many years to build our breadth and depth of expertise, which we are now feeding back.”
