 Light commercial vehicles - global resources

Context / Scope of project

The study covered 17 independent business units across Australasia, Indonesia and Africa, where a single OEM supplied 66% of light vehicle requirements. Each site purchased from local dealerships and parts and, often, different suppliers undertook servicing. Perception that arrangements with OEM were relationship focused – no balance against costs.

OEM non-committal to fit for purpose initiative and performance KPI’s

Client achieved:

  • Savings of 28% - 39% across full range of light commercial vehicles (LCV)
  • Savings through national parts and servicing deals
  • Additional savings through agreement to develop of a fit for purpose mining vehicle
  • Identification of additional savings through improved vehicle management practices and allocation of Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT)
  • A contracted LCV base price while solving lease versus buy debate
