Calculated outcomes
- Scheduled Fleet Hours
- 1,280
- Fleet Cost Per Productive Hour
- €28.89
- Idle Available Hours
- 280
Assumptions and estimates
- Hours and costs must cover the same period. Productive hours are fleet totals; availability removes downtime while utilisation uses the full scheduled capacity.
- Method: Utilisation = productive hours ÷ scheduled fleet hours. Availability excludes downtime; unit costs divide the period cost by activity.
- Hours and costs must use the same period; productive and downtime hours are fleet totals rather than per-vehicle values.
