This year the start of the economic reactivation after the health crisis coincides with the long-awaited summer holidays. Both families and self-employed transportation professionals need to get behind the wheel. In times of uncertainty, it is better not to risk: cost savings can be the key to the survival of the business and also to have a better chance of ensuring the future of the company or the family economy.
In this sense, and more so in these summer months, fuel savings can make a big difference. And the free card offered by the Platinium Oil gas station group helps you manage fuel consumption efficiently and guarantee fuel quality and service.
If you are a professional, this interests you
Fuel is and will continue to be a fundamental part of the budget of many Spanish families but, above all, it is a very important part of the cost structure of professionals dedicated to transport, especially with the current prices at which crude oil is quoted in the market. For the proper development of economic activity, it is necessary to plan and manage fuel spending efficiently.
How much can you save with efficient fuel management?
It depends on the size of the transport fleet that the professional has. Three types can be distinguished:
• Small fleets of 5 or 6 vehicles. They are family businesses run by a self-employed owner and some family or salaried drivers. Most of their work they do for a client or a large company.
• Medium fleets with a number of vehicles ranging between 6 and 30. These are usually small family businesses that have grown thanks to good management and specializing in market niches or emerging markets. These companies usually already have a wide portfolio of clients in the national and international spheres.
• Large fleets with a high number of large-tonnage and long-haul vehicles. Vehicles can be owned or outsourced to freelancers. They can have delegations in different parts of the country and act on many occasions as logistics and distribution operators for large brands.
The percentage of fuel costs in relation to operating totals varies according to the nature of the fleet, but it is always important. For a fleet of small vehicles that typically make low annual mileage, this proportion can be slightly more than 5% of the total. At the other extreme, for a fleet of high-tonnage, long-haul vehicles, it can reach up to 30% of the total cost. The average cost of fuel for a transport fleet is around 15% of the total costs.
What can saving on fuel mean? A 10% reduction in fuel costs can lead to a 31% increase in profit. In these times, with narrow profit margins, this 10% savings can mean the difference between a profitable business and losses in the income statement. That is, it is a key saving for the survival of the company.
