RCO Guide


To determine the Real Cost of Ownership for its on-highway trucks, Freightliner identified six main contributing factors for maximizing profitability: fuel efficiency, connectivity, safety, quality, uptime and driver experience. For vocational trucks, the factors that contribute to maximizing profitability are slightly different. These are productivity, upfit, safety, quality and uptime.
