THE SIX FACTORS OF TCO

DEPRECIATION
Depreciation is the difference between purchase value and resale value. On its own, purchase price won’t indicate resale value, as so much depends on brand perception, the reputation of the specific model, and the availability of quality spare parts.

FUEL CONSUMPTION
This is usually your second largest expense—although the arrival of alternative energies is helping to reduce this item significantly.

MAINTENANCE & REPAIRS
These costs depend on the machine’s design, the quality of its components, its settings and operating modes, as well as on the costs of preventive maintenance, replacement parts and corrective maintenance.

TRACKS & TIRES
Tires are not only the key to safety, but also have a major impact on the energy consumption and performance of your machine. Choosing them well and regularly monitoring their pressure and wear is key to their life span—as well as driver safety.

COST OF FINANCE
This item includes all costs related to the acquisition, insurance and taxation of your equipment, regardless of your financing method. This is usually worked out over the expected lifespan of the vehicle, typically eight to ten years.
