How long you keep a vehicle in service influences virtually all aspects of your fleet operations \u2013 how often you\u2019re cycling vehicles, capital expenditure requirements, how you establish preventive maintenance parameters, repair versus replace decisions, how many vehicles you need to efficiently support your business, etc.<\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, Holman&#8217;s Matt Biddle recently spoke with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.boomandbucket.com\/blog\/effectively-planning-equipment-sales\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Boom &amp; Bucket<\/a>\u00a0to share his perspective on the best practices for developing an effective vehicle cycling strategy. In the article, Matt notes that there&#8217;s no effective\u00a0<span class=\"resolved\">one-size-fits-all\u00a0<\/span>solution for all fleets and asset types, and he highlights a few key considerations to keep in mind as you build your lifecycle strategy.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n    <style>.wysiwyg{margin-top:0 !important;}<\/style>\n\n\n    <section class=\"quote-testimonial\" id=\"\">\n        <div class=\"inner\">\n            <div class=\"quote-testimonial-quote\">\n                <div class=\"body-1\"><p>&#8220;The ideal lifecycle for a particular vehicle is influenced by factors such as specifications, job function, geographic location, payload, criticality to your business, etc. All of these elements can vary greatly across your fleet and it is important that you adjust accordingly when necessary. &#8220;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"quote-testimonial-author\">\n                                <div class=\"quote-testimonial-text\">\n                    <h6 class=\"headline-6\">Matt Biddle<\/h6>\n                                    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <style>.quote-testimonial{margin:25px 0 !important;} .quote-testimonial .inner{padding:25px 0 !important;}\n        @media (max-width: 1300px){.quote-testimonial{margin:25px 0 !important;} .quote-testimonial .inner{padding:25px 0 !important;}}\n        <\/style>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n    <section class=\"wysiwyg\" id=\"\">\n        <div class='inner'>\n            <p>Matt also says that often the biggest challenge for most fleet operators is understanding how all the different facets of a lifecycle &#8211; buy, drive, service, and sell &#8211; influence each other. When it comes to maximizing resale value, Matt explains why you&#8217;ll want to identify the ideal window to remove a vehicle from service to yield the greatest return. He also discusses how that timing ultimately impacts your acquisition strategy and capital expenditure forecast.<\/p>\n<p>Later in the article, Matt explains why we often recommend aligning your cycling strategy to what&#8217;s important to your organization and how fleet can best support the success of your business.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n    <style>.wysiwyg{margin-top:0 !important;}<\/style>\n\n\n    <section class=\"quote-testimonial\" id=\"\">\n        <div class=\"inner\">\n            <div class=\"quote-testimonial-quote\">\n                <div class=\"body-1\"><p>&#8220;If reliability is paramount to your business, you will likely benefit from short cycles because replacing equipment more frequently will give you more dependable assets. In that scenario, your capital expenses will be higher but may be offset by lower operating expenses. Conversely, extended cycles allow you to spread capital expenses to acquire units over a longer timeframe &#8211; particularly beneficial for costly, highly-specialized units &#8211; but you&#8217;ll likely incur higher operating costs as the units age.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"quote-testimonial-author\">\n                                <div class=\"quote-testimonial-text\">\n                    <h6 class=\"headline-6\">Matt Biddle<\/h6>\n                                    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <style>.quote-testimonial{margin:25px 0 !important;} .quote-testimonial .inner{padding:25px 0 !important;}\n        @media (max-width: 1300px){.quote-testimonial{margin:25px 0 !important;} .quote-testimonial .inner{padding:25px 0 !important;}}\n        <\/style>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n    <section class=\"wysiwyg\" id=\"\">\n        <div class='inner'>\n            <p>To close out the article, Matt says that most fleet operators stand to benefit greatly from a more macro approach.\u00a0<span class=\"resolved\">Rather than simply planning for the year ahead, he says if you&#8217;re able to forecast three to five years out, you&#8217;ll likely have greater financial flexibility for adjusting to unforeseen challenges or have capital available to take advantage of cost-savings opportunities that may arise.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Visit\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.boomandbucket.com\/blog\/effectively-planning-equipment-sales\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BoomandBucket.com<\/a>\u00a0to read the entire\u00a0<span class=\"resolved\">article and be\u00a0<\/span>sure to learn more about how Holman&#8217;s\u00a0<a href=\"\/fleet-management\" rel=\"noopener\">holistic approach to fleet management<\/a>\u00a0can help you transform your fleet from an operational necessity into one of your company&#8217;s most valuable assets.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n    <style>.wysiwyg{margin-top:0 !important;}<\/style>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> &lt; 1<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minute<\/span><\/span>","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":17371,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[99,108],"blog-type":[90],"featured":[89],"legacy":[97],"class_list":["post-7049","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fleet-management","tag-blogs","tag-lifecycle-optimization","blog-type-blog","featured-no","legacy-yes"],"acf":[],"permalink_manager":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ca.holman.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7049","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ca.holman.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ca.holman.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ca.holman.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ca.holman.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7049"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/ca.holman.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7049\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17925,"href":"https:\/\/ca.holman.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7049\/revisions\/17925"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ca.holman.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17371"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ca.holman.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7049"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ca.holman.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7049"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ca.holman.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7049"},{"taxonomy":"blog-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ca.holman.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/blog-type?post=7049"},{"taxonomy":"featured","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ca.holman.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/featured?post=7049"},{"taxonomy":"legacy","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ca.holman.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/legacy?post=7049"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
