The new tool allows for a side-by-side view of up to four vehicles along with the ability to choose and compare among a multitude of different variables – including lease terms, miles driven, maintenance costs, fuel and depreciation – to help fleet decision-makers determine total cost of ownership and vehicle cost per mile. Fleets can also benefit from safety and environmental ratings.

‘ARI’s clients can use this pre-ordering tool to compare vehicles and gain a better understanding about what is the right vehicle for their fleet and what that vehicle should cost, both at the time of acquisition and over the life of that vehicle,’ said Tony Candeloro, ARI’s vice president of product development.
