ARIhas reintroduced its Life Cycle Analysis tool within its award-winning ARI insights® web-based and mobile fleet management system. Fleet managers are given a set of tools to determine total cost of ownership and vehicle cost per mile, along with safety and environmental ratings that are accessible when choosing among vehicles. The new tools allow users to view up to four vehicles side-by-side. Different variables in the evaluation process are presented – including lease terms, miles driven, maintenance costs, fuel, and depreciation. The ARI insights system collects and integrates critical vehicle and driver data from around the world
“ARI’s clients can use this pre-ordering tool to compare vehicles and gain a better understanding about what is the right vehicle for their fleet and what that vehicle should cost, both at the time of acquisition and over the life of that vehicle,” said Tony Candeloro, ARI’s vice president of product development.
