AFV Business Planning


Fleet Analysis for AFV Application

AFVi offers a complete fleet analysis to help determine what your AFV and fuel choices are for your fleet. 

Specialized knowledge and experience are required when choosing the right vehicles and fuels for your fleet. 

  • What fuels are readily available in your operating area? 
  • What vehicles are commercially available today, and what’s coming online in the near future? 
  • How do the operating characteristics of your fleet help determine the right fuels and vehicles? 
  • Are there unspoken issues you should be aware of?

AFVi offers a complete fleet analysis to help determine what your AFV and fuel choices are, and then determine which applications are best for your fleet.  Our analysis includes an AFV-visional vehicle inventory, an analysis of vehicle applications and operating characteristics, a projection of future vehicle needs, an alternative fuel-visional fueling inventory and a system for matching existing fleet vehicles with AFV alternatives.  Contact us today to start the process.

Alternative Fuel Choice Evaluation

Often, there is more than one alternative fuel that fleet managers can choose from.  How do you make that choice?  There are numerous criteria that should be used to evaluate your alternative fuel choices and select the best one—or ones—that meet your needs.

AFVi’s Alternative Fuel Choice Evaluation process helps you evaluate your fuel choices against the critical criteria, including vehicle applications, geographic location, fuel availability, fuel cost, fuel source, long-term pricing projections and more.  For assistance, contact us today.

AFV Payback Analysis

AFVi understands the hidden costs and benefits of operating AFVs, and can help you make realistic AFV payback calculations.

  • Are you considering AFVs to cut fleet operating costs, but are unsure about whether the fuel or vehicles you’re looking at will really achieve that goal? 
  • Do you know how to factor in government incentives, tax credits and other elements that affect the payback for AFVs?
  • Can you accurately forecast the price you’ll pay for fuel two years from now? Five years from now?

Economic payback and the bottom line is usually the most critical factor for fleet managers when they are evaluating AFVs and fuels.  Our consulting team at AFVi understands the hidden costs and benefits of operating AFVs, and can help you make realistic AFV payback calculations.  Contact us today for assistance.

Fuel Contract Negotiation

AFVi helps negotiating a contract with an alternative fuel provider. 

  • Are you negotiating a contract with an alternative fuel provider? 
  • Do you know what the “standard” terms in the industry are?
  • Are you certain you’re getting the best deal possible? 
  • Do you know what fuel quality or performance to specify and how to ensure you’ll be getting it? 
  • What will be the responsibilities of the fuel provider if the performance specifications are not met?

There are literally dozens of questions like these that should be asked to help you make sure you’re getting spec-quality fuel at the absolute best price.  AFVi knows the questions…and we know the “right” answers in advance.  For more information, contact us.
