This IRU Intelligence Briefing evaluates the total cost of ownership (TCO), as well as the CO₂ emissions, for an articulated vehicle during its first six years of operation.
Data from France, Germany, Poland, Spain and Italy, the five leading EU road freight countries, revealed that national conditions significantly impact both the TCO and CO₂ emissions.
The analysis considers factors influencing TCO and emissions, including vehicle prices, subsidies, residual values, insurance and interest rates, energy consumption and costs, maintenance, and tolls. All figures are indexed to inflation.
A well to wheel approach is used to calculate CO₂ emissions, considering the carbon intensity of different energy sources in each country.
The briefing uses the Alternative Fuels and Efficiency Model: a unique, cutting-edge decarbonisation modelling tool developed by IRU and endorsed by academia.
Who is it for?
- Logistics planners to lower operational costs and CO₂ emissions by purchasing and deploying the right powertrain for a given country.
- Analysts or consultants to support client advisory services on fleet efficiency and strategic planning with IRU research, credibility and expertise.
- Procurement managers to improve cost predictability and gain better insights into supplier pricing and contract terms.
What is it for?
- Choose the right vehicle for each market
- Lower operational costs and TCO
- Turn decarbonisation into a business opportunity
- Anticipate impact of new policies and dynamics
Empower your decisions with the only TCO-driven decarbonisation research built on real-world data – plan smartly, invest wisely.
