Status-quo cost calculator

What does doing nothing cost?

A manually run fleet costs money that never shows up on an invoice. Enter a few key figures and see live what the status quo costs you per month, per year and per vehicle.

Example fleet of 10 vehicles. Every field is prefilled with industry assumptions and already counts towards the result – these are not your figures. Please overwrite them with your own. Ten is deliberate: divide by 10 to read the cost per vehicle.

Scenario

Sets the three assumption values (number of damages, damage amount, downtime share) to typical industry benchmarks. Each value stays freely adjustable afterwards; the cost per downtime day comes from the industry.
