BANNOCKBURN, Ill. -

Donlen announced Tuesday that its next generation Vehicle Optimization Model (VOM), delivers enhanced functionality and features an upgraded user interface that makes analyzing and presenting results of fleet vehicle comparisons easier.

“Donlen’s new and improved Vehicle Optimization Model provides our customers with the ability to change a variety of input parameters to enable powerful “what-if” scenario analysis comparing the total cost of ownership of a wide variety of vehicle selection options,” said Donlen vice president of consulting, analytics, and sustainability, Amy Blaine.

The fleet management services provider said the updates aim to help clients make choices that minimize total cost of fleet ownership.

New functionality gives fleet professionals the ability to both customize financial parameters and yield full reports when using the VOM to select vehicles for their fleet.

“The precise analysis available through the VOM makes the vehicle selection process faster and provides the full picture of the cost of a vehicle, empowering users of the tool to make more cost-effective decisions," said Blaine. "With the VOM, fleet professionals can select vehicles with the best TCO, as well as discover the appropriate time to cycle vehicles to reduce their costs.”
