 The orderly, efficient
replacement of vehicles and equipment that
make up your fleet is not at easy as it
sounds. Many organizations struggle with it.
Lacking complete understanding of their
fleet’s operating costs and capital costs,
and often not appreciating the fleet’s
contribution to the success of their
mission, they tend to base replacement
decisions on short-term fiscal
considerations or on the breakdown or
failure of a vehicle.
Fleet replacement costs are always easy
targets for budget cutting, especially in
times of economic stress. But in most cases,
satisfying short-term budget concerns only
postpones expenses while leading to higher
overall costs and lower levels of service
and user satisfaction.
Mercury Associates consultants have been
providing fleet replacement planning
services to organizations like yours for
decades. We have designed programs that have
brought reliability to fleet operations
along with short-term fiscal stability and
long-term economic value to our clients.
Mercury can establish realistic vehicle
lifecycle standards and strike the desired
balance between your capital expenses and
your operating expenses. Together, we can
also determine the method of replacement
financing that is best for you, such as ad
hoc appropriations, lease-purchase, debt
financing, or a hybrid approach. |

Mercury Associates is
always dedicated to securing management’s
commitment to implementing real-world,
best-practice solutions. After our
consultants analyze your requirements and
recommend a long-term replacement strategy,
we can model several alternative funding and
purchasing approaches so that you have the
quantitative information to justify your
final funding approach. |
