Time/mileage ratio

Know exactly where you stand with your contractual (lease) or internal (ownership) rolling law.

The rolling law can be contractual in the context of your rental contract or "estimated" for vehicles that you own.

In both cases, it is important to know where you stand in terms of renewing your vehicles and the costs that may arise.

According to the elements entered (start date, mileage, duration), the application gives you the state of your rolling law (LDR) and the projection of what it will be at the end of your contract or your estimated date of exit from the fleet (ownership):

: high under-utilisation (<70%) or high over-utilisation (> 130%)

: under-use (70-90%) or over-use (111-130%)

: Conforming use (91-110%)

In this example, the vehicle is rented:

1. It is under-utilised compared to the planned LDR (56%)

2. The duration is in line (16 months out of the 36 contracted)

3. And the mileage is in line (20,768 vs 90,000 km planned)

4. In the HISTORY section, the contracts and any amendments to the leasing agreement are visible here.
