“I need a vehicle to do my job.”Challenge 1:
“Even if they might use them seldom, they need the commitment to have a vehicle available.”
- Sean Pownall, Fleet Administrator, City Of Bellevue
Typical solution: Assign a vehicle to each driver

• Cost of ownership = $6000 / yr • Car is underutilized • Driver is using time to manage his car • Demand for other employees not met
Taking a closer look at this driver’s assigned vehicle:
Our solution: Add his vehicle to a shared motor pool
Smart Motor Pools: Boosting vehicle utilization

Smart Motor Pools: Improving the driver experience
Find a car even without a
booking
Open car doors with badge or
phone
Drive newer & well maintained
vehicles
Locate a vehicle close
to you
Save time from routine maintenance
Maximize Vehicle UtilizationChallenge 2:
“Homeland Security spent $48.6million on underutilized vehicles in 2012.”
- Department Of Homeland Security Audit Report
With your underutilized vehicles, ask these two questions:
Are these vehicles assigned?
Do the drivers bring these vehicles home?
If vehicles are assigned:
and are NOT brought home by drivers…
and are brought home by drivers…
Add these vehicles to the motor pool.
Look at the number of miles driven per year. If below 6,000 - 7,000
miles, consider personal mileage reimbursement.
If vehicles are not assigned, boost demand by:
• opening up the pooled vehicles to more drivers and departments
• placing them in more centralized locations • lowering the pricing
Once these steps are done to maximize usage: Sell the remaining vehicles
What vehicles should I buy?Challenge 3:
“As companies continue to look for ways to cut fleet expenses, the forecast is a shift away from driver-dedicated fleet vehicles to car sharing or
comparable type services.”
- Automotive Fleet, 2015
Before you make a purchase, ask the question: Do you need vehicles at all?
