Vehicle usage - How important is this? Is it likely to change?

Why Fleet Usage Data Matters

Fleet usage data tells you how your vehicles are actually being used. It's one of the most important metrics in modern fleet management giving insight into performance, cost efficiency, and future planning.

Understanding actual usage helps you avoid over- or under-specifying vehicles, improve fuel economy, and identify opportunities to cut waste or scale your fleet up or down.

Key Benefits of Tracking Fleet Usage

• Right-sizing your fleet: Match vehicle numbers and types to real needs.
• Reducing costs: Avoid unnecessary leasing or maintenance spend.
• Improving vehicle uptime: Spot underused or overworked vehicles early.
• Enhancing driver safety: Monitor high-mileage routes or patterns.
• Supporting sustainability goals: Track emissions by actual usage.

What Usage Metrics Should You Track?

• Mileage (per vehicle and across the fleet)
• Time on the road vs. idle time
• Vehicle utilisation rate
• Fuel efficiency and consumption
• Maintenance frequency and downtime
