Reduce your fleet’s total cost of ownership

How do you thrive amid higher costs and lower margins? By doing all you can to improve the efficiency of your operations. Our energy solutions can help by unlocking efficiencies, so you can reduce your fleet or equipment’s total cost of ownership (TCO) and stay ahead of the competition – today, tomorrow, and beyond.

How to reduce costs without reducing output

No industry has been left untouched by the social and commercial upheaval of the last few years. But as costs rise and margins narrow, investing your way out of this disruption can be difficult. Instead, it can pay to re-evaluate the factors already under your control, such as your fuel:

Almost 2 in 5 companies do not consider the role of fuel in total cost of ownership.¹

  

45% say that fuel choice contributed to unplanned downtime.¹

  

53% want help with understanding future energy and vehicle technology options.¹

  

More than half say they could reduce their operating costs by 10% or more each month if they were able to manage fuel usage effectively.¹

  

How to reduce costs without reducing output

Four ways to lower your TCO

While your fuel usage has a big influence over total cost of ownership, that’s not where the equation ends. To really get a handle on how the performance of your vehicles or equipment can contribute to the bottom line, it can pay to take a wider approach to TCO.

Four ways to lower your TCO

Choices for effective maintenance:

Sometimes, the smallest decisions – or components – can have the biggest impact, which is why it can be cost effective to take a proactive approach to maintenance. Shell’s transport fuel solutions contribute to improved fuel economy and reduced unplanned maintenance, as well as higher vehicle and equipment utilisation.

Business processes:

The more time spent on unnecessary admin, the less time you have to focus on efficiencies. Shell’s energy solutions can help you reduce the total cost of ownership of your fleet or equipment by identifying hidden efficiencies.

Fuel storage and handling:

From choosing the right storage location to maintaining a clean environment, effective fuel housekeeping can help you unlock value by avoiding unnecessary costs. Shell eVMI is a digital stock management solution that helps customers with fuel ordering and optimising fuel stock.

Training and best practice:

If knowledge sharing is something that your business struggles with, then try seeking out industry experts that can help you shape everything from regular trainings to long-term strategy. Take advantage of Shell’s fuel technical services and make the most of your fuel choice.
