The Importance of Good Vehicle Specification

The capital cost of a vehicle may account for less than 50% of its whole-life cost when fuel, maintenance and other operating expenses are taken
into account. Fuel can represent up to 30% of your operational costs. Clearly this is a significant amount and any reduction in fuel costs or improvements in operational efficiency can improve the ‘bottom line’ of your business.
Spending time in developing an accurate and appropriate vehicle specification will help you do this.
Ensuring vehicles are closely matched to the tasks they are expected to perform will improve both fuel and overall operational efficiency. This can lead to cost savings, increased profitability and reduced environmental impact.
On the other hand, inaccurate and inappropriate vehicle specification can result in purchasing a vehicle that is unsuitable for the task it will be required to carry out.  Although such vehicles may be slightly cheaper in terms of initial investment, it may become significantly more expensive to operate when fuel consumption and maintenance costs are taken into account in the long term.
Poor vehicle specification, in some cases, may even lead to breaches of the law and possible legal action.
