Smart OPEX management with Blueshark’s Leasing Programme.
In our last article, we delved into the Capital Expenditure involved in procuring your own fleet of vehicles.
Now, let's shift our focus to the operational expenditure aspect and how leasing your fleet with us can provide additional cost-saving opportunities for your business.
Operational Expenditure or Smart OPEX Management, refers to the ongoing costs associated with running and maintaining a vehicle fleet. This includes expenses such as fuel, maintenance and repairs, and more. These costs can quickly add up and become a significant burden for businesses.
Let’s explore the difference between managing your own fleet team when it comes to yearly fuel consumption, and service and maintenance costs for a simple Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) or petrol motorbike versus the Blueshark Smart Electric Scooters.
For instance, the average fuel consumption for an ordinary ICE motorbike travelling an annual distance of 45,000km would cost RM 2,050 based on the current market rate. For a business owner who wants to invest in a fleet of 50 bikes that would total RM102,500 annually.
However, with Blueshark’s innovative battery solutions, businesses can conveniently charge-up their vehicles from any standard power outlet or swap to fully-charged batteries in seconds at our designated BlueSwap facilities, BlueStations.
Travelling a similar annual distance with our BlueSwapStandard Subscription Plan at RM99 monthly which equals to RM1,118 in a year. For the same fleet size, that’s only RM59,400 per year.
When it comes to maintenance, an average ICE bike can costs up to RM500 a year per bike. An inventory of 50 bikes will cost RM25,000 annually to maintain.
However, maintenance and servicing costs are already included in the Blueshark’s Corporate Subscription Plan; saving businesses even more in the long run.
