The problem

Why this capability exists.

Dealer-led finance ignores total cost of ownership. We model TCO across fuel, residuals and tax.

Our approach

  1. 01

    Build a TCO model across powertrains and tenors.

  2. 02

    Run rate competition across 22 fleet funders.

  3. 03

    Layer EV salary-sacrifice for staff retention.

Outcomes you can expect

  • Median 15% TCO reduction on refresh cycles
  • Salary-sacrifice EV live in 21 days
  • Single portal across whole fleet
