Put yourself back on the road to efficiency and savings

While no industry has had an easy time with the virus, it is obvious that the commercial vehicle industry in particular has faced many unique challenges in the last few months. And to help commercial fleet operators focus on efficiency, cost control and the chance of making savings in the long run, Exxon Mobil has two guides covering Total Cost of Ownership and Energy Efficiency available for you to download.

Keeping a strong bottom line has been extremely difficult during the pandemic but our Total Cost of Ownership Guide can help. It explains why you should look at a HDV purchase as not just one up front cost, but as a series of associated costs throughout ownership all the way through to disposal. Taking all of this into account will help you make smart decisions on how to minimise avoidable expenditure, in order to maximise returns.

One measure that can reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), which we cover in the guide, is investment in high-performance lubrication. The advanced formulation of high-performance lubricants can help you avoid costly maintenance bills while maintaining optimum performance. So it is important not to see lubricants simply as a short-term cost to keep low, but a long-term, strategic investment that will ultimately help reduce TCO.

“A small change, such as switching to high performance synthetic lubricants, can have a big impact when it comes to reducing total cost of ownership, ultimately making a business more profitable.” Dario Izzo, Europe, Africa, Middle East Commercial Marketing Offer Advisor, ExxonMobil.

Our TCO guide also offers top tips on vehicle acquisition, fuel efficiency measures and disposal – as well as expert insight from Logistics UK on the changing nature of the modern fleet.

The growth of online retail was dramatic prior to the arrival of COVID-19; the pandemic shifted this move up several gears, putting extra strain on the road haulage industry almost overnight. Our Energy Efficiency guide provides practical recommendations on how fleet owners can reduce energy use on and off the road to help cope with these dramatic changes, as well as explain how you can make savings. It covers everything from traditional on-the-road measures to reduce fuel consumption, such as driver training, to lesser-considered methods like choosing high-performance lubricants. For example, Mobil Delvac™ 1 LE 5W-30 has been shown to increase fuel economy by 1.8%*, helping to not only increase efficiency, but also help improve a fleet’s bottom line.

“We’re offering clear, accessible and practical advice on how fleet owners can make their operations more energy efficient,” said Dario Izzo, Europe, Africa, Middle East Commercial Marketing Offer Advisor, ExxonMobil.

You will find top tips on reducing energy off the road too. Did you know that it is possible to cut lighting and heating costs by up to 30% respectively by implementing energy saving measures? And improvements can be made to reduce your energy output through simple activities such as a walkaround survey, or more advanced options like smart metres.

If you are ready to discover how you can reduce your operating costs and better cope with the economic and operational challenges of COVID-19, then download ExxonMobil’s TCO Guide and Energy Efficiency Guide.
