Establishing your baseline by understanding your fleet as it is now, is crucial to establishing where improvements can be made:
| Record details of individual vans - make, model engine and fuel type? |
| 
|
| How much fuel and what type does each vehicle use per week / month? |
| 
|
| Monthly or weekly mileage for each vehicle |
| 
|
| How many incidents have occurred in the past six months? |
| 
|
| Record the number of vans that are rented, leased and purchased |
Once the data is gathered, you can use it to identify priority areas such as:
- monthly fuel costs
- maintenance costs
- average costs per mile
- average distance per journey
