Summary/Use Case
Report Summary
The Vehicle Aging report provides a detailed breakdown of vehicle age across your fleet based on in-service date, life meter readings, and classification groupings. This report is particularly useful for fleet managers looking to evaluate vehicle lifecycle, plan for replacements, and manage aging assets across facilities or departments.
Use Case
Identify older vehicles approaching or exceeding lifecycle thresholds for replacement planning
Monitor and group vehicle aging data by Facility, Class, or Department
Align vehicle replacement budgets with real usage and age data
Evaluate fleet condition for strategic planning and investment forecasting

Report Output and Data Elements
Report Output
The Vehicle Aging report generates a grouped list of vehicles showing their current life meter readings, in-service dates, and calculated age in months. Groupings are based on selected criteria such as Class, Customer, or Department. It includes subtotals and averages by each vehicle group, helping to quickly compare aging patterns within classifications. The report also displays purchase price and purchase date, further aiding in ROI evaluation.
