Bobit Business Media and Vincentric have launched a Web-based vehicle cost analysis tool for fleet readers of AutomotiveFleet.com, WorkTruckOnline.com, Government-Fleet.com, BusinessFleet.com, and FleetFinancials.com.
The tool provides comprehensive data on the base trim models of more than 350 vehicle nameplates from the 2015 model year, including acquisition cost, engine specs, fuel economy ratings, fleet incentives, and other costs associated with operating the vehicle. Several 2016 models have also been added to the database. The vehicles are searchable individually or as part of 17 vehicle classes.
The tool allows readers to compare the lifecycle costs of individual vehicles to other similar vehicles or to another class of vehicles. Readers can also filter out fleet incentives by 28 vehicle brands. The tool does not include medium-duty trucks.
To use the tool, click on the Vehicle Research tab in the top navigation of the website.
