Upgrading Your Commercial Fleet Vehicles/System
Making an
investment in your commercial fleet vehicle system can be a worthwhile move,
even when the upfront costs seem high. According to Automotive Fleet, the 2016 market assessment predicts
corporate initiatives to purchase the most fuel-efficient models with plenty of
safety features. Will your company be equipped to keep up with competitors?
While a new
fleet of trucks or delivery cars for your business might seem like a big buy,
there are many advantages that make the initial cost worthwhile:
- Improved performance
- Improved safety
- Enhanced utility
- Added comfort
- Additional convenience
These benefits
not only improve your drivers’ experience and satisfaction levels, but also
translate into a more quality customer experience. As your fleet performs
simple tasks more efficiently, you are able to meet the needs of customers
quickly with ease.
Options
An upgrade can
mean a lot of different things, from a full-scale replacement to simple add-on
features. According to BusinessFleet, basic upgrades like sunroofs, sport wheels
and an entertainment system can ensure your vehicles have a significantly
higher return value. The extra “frills” will also be a benefit to employee
drivers, adding value to their day-to-day work experience.
Whether your
company needs several many new vehicles or a couple added features depends on
your specific circumstances. In many cases creative, affordable solutions can be
found that require a lower investment than initially predicted. Doing research
on your competition, industry, and customer base is the first step towards
identifying the best option.
Questions to Ask
When
considering a commercial fleet upgrade, you’ll want to understand your
company’s unique needs and budget constraints. Before you sign the check, ask
yourself these questions:
- Should I consider add-on features, or a full fleet replacement
- What value will my new commercial fleet bring to my business?
- Can I expect increased profits because of the investment?
- Should I consider buying up-front, or financing with a lease or loan?
As a big
investment, it’s important to weigh the pros and cons of financing your new
equipment. Choosing a lease can enable you to keep cash flow open for greater
flexibility during the payment period. Work Truck Magazine outlines some of the important things fleet
managers should consider when signing a lease agreement.
