VARO TCO Tool

Plan with confidence. Transition with clarity.

The transportation sector is undergoing rapid transformation. Fleet owners and operators face growing pressure to reduce emissions while remaining cost-competitive. This is driven by both policy measures (e.g. zero-emission zones) and the decarbonisation targets set by the customers they serve.

A vehicle’s purchase price is only part of the story. TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) captures the full picture: energy and fuel costs, maintenance, taxes, tolls, and effects from upcoming regulations such as ETS-2.

Without TCO insights, you risk incurring hidden costs and missing out on potential savings. This can lead to uncompetitive decisions. With these insights you gain the clarity to make balanced, future-proof investment decisions.
