1 Vehicle condition

The first factor to consider is the condition of the vehicle you want to dispose of. How old is it? How many miles has it driven? How well has it been maintained? What are the current and expected repair costs? The condition of the vehicle will determine its resale value, as well as its environmental impact. You want to dispose of a vehicle that is no longer cost-effective to operate, but still has some market demand. You also want to avoid disposing of a vehicle that is too damaged or polluting, as this could expose you to legal or regulatory liabilities.

If you want vehicles to last, people need to treat them as if they were their own. Unless they do this, the vehicles will deteriorate and have a more limited lifespan.

2 Disposal method

The second factor to consider is the method of disposal you choose. There are different ways to dispose of a fleet vehicle, such as selling, trading, donating, scrapping, or auctioning. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages, depending on your goals and preferences. For example, selling or trading can generate some revenue or savings, but also require more time and effort. Donating or scrapping can be more convenient and socially responsible, but also result in a loss or tax deduction. Auctioning can be faster and more competitive, but also more uncertain and risky.

The lack of proper disposal methods (at least in Mexico) makes this hard. There needs yo be a lawful way to do this. Currently, this is impossible.

3 Market conditions

The third factor to consider is the market conditions at the time of disposal. The market conditions affect the supply and demand of used vehicles, as well as their prices and quality. You want to dispose of a fleet vehicle when the market conditions are favorable for you, meaning that there is high demand and low supply of vehicles similar to yours. You also want to monitor the market trends and fluctuations, such as seasonal changes, economic cycles, or industry developments. You want to avoid disposing of a fleet vehicle when the market conditions are unfavorable for you, meaning that there is low demand and high supply of vehicles similar to yours.

4 Fleet strategy

The fourth factor to consider is your overall fleet strategy and objectives. Your fleet strategy defines your vision, mission, and goals for your fleet operations, as well as your policies, procedures, and standards. Your fleet strategy should guide your disposal decisions, as they affect your fleet performance, efficiency, and sustainability. You want to dispose of a fleet vehicle that is aligned with your fleet strategy, meaning that it supports your current and future needs and expectations. You also want to review and update your fleet strategy regularly, as it may change over time due to internal or external factors.

5 Stakeholder expectations

The fifth factor to consider is the expectations of your stakeholders, such as your customers, employees, suppliers, partners, regulators, or community. Your stakeholders have different interests and perspectives on your fleet operations, and they may influence or evaluate your disposal decisions. You want to dispose of a fleet vehicle that meets or exceeds your stakeholder expectations, meaning that it enhances your reputation, relationships, and compliance. You also want to communicate and engage with your stakeholders effectively, as they may provide you with valuable feedback, insights, or opportunities.

6 Disposal costs

The sixth and final factor to consider is the costs associated with disposing of a fleet vehicle. These costs include not only the direct expenses, such as fees, taxes, or commissions, but also the indirect or hidden costs, such as opportunity costs, environmental costs, or social costs. You want to dispose of a fleet vehicle that minimizes your disposal costs, meaning that it maximizes your net return or benefit. You also want to calculate and compare your disposal costs accurately, as they may vary depending on the vehicle condition, disposal method, market conditions, fleet strategy, and stakeholder expectations.

El mejor instrumento financiero para los vehículos de flota es el arrendamiento. Si se tiene un buen consultor, los ahorros son siempre millonarios. Para mí es la principal herramienta para una empresa, me encanta ver las caras de alegría de los empresarios cuando descubren el arrendamiento.

En México ???? Que es donde vivo y tengo 20 a?os dedicándome a la industria automotriz, hay una cultura ineficaz respecto al cuidado de los vehículos de flota de las empresas, dado que con mucha frecuencia los colaboradores a quienes se asigna la unidad no la cuidan porque no es suya. Esto tiene un impacto negativo en todo sentido, se acorta la vida del auto y afecta en el medio ambiente y económicamente a la empresa. Nosotros sugerimos utilizar arrendamiento y ligarlo a un plan de beneficios para que el colaborador pueda comprar la unidad al término del arrendamiento con financiamiento que se descuenta de su sueldo. Esta se ha vuelto una solución con la que mejoramos el panorama entero. ??
