🚛 TCO Last Mile Vehicles - Mexico
📊 Base Case: TCO analysis for last-mile delivery vehicles (3.5-6T) in Mexico City, MTY and GDL. Diesel vs Electric comparison considering local regulations and Mexican market costs.
Define the fleet size, analysis timeframe, and city location. These parameters establish the baseline for your TCO comparison and determine infrastructure readiness factors.
Number of Vehicles 100 vehicles
Analysis Base Year: TCO calculations are based on 2025 market conditions. All costs and prices are expressed in constant 2025 MXN values to ensure consistent comparison across vehicle lifespans.
⚡ EV Infrastructure Readiness
Displays charging infrastructure availability and policy support by city. Coverage levels affect operational costs through route planning and charging accessibility multipliers.
City: Mexico City
Charging Coverage: 85%
EV Readiness Score: High
📍 Charging Stations: 450+ public stations
🔌 DC Fast Charging: 120+ locations
🏢 Fleet Infrastructure: Excellent
⚖️ Policy Support: Strong incentives
Impact on Fleet Operation:
High coverage enables reliable operations with minimal range anxiety. Strong charging network supports 24/7 delivery operations.
Vehicle Characteristics
Vehicle acquisition costs are the primary CAPEX component in TCO analysis. Price differences between diesel and electric vehicles directly impact payback period calculations.
Diesel Vehicle Price (K MX$) $850K
Electric Vehicle Price (K MX$) $1,400K
Operational Parameters
Daily usage and operational days determine total annual mileage per vehicle. Higher utilization typically improves the business case for electric vehicles due to lower operating costs.
Daily Kilometers 180 km
Working Days/Year 300 days
Fuel/Energy Costs
Energy costs represent the largest operational expense component. Fuel prices and vehicle efficiency ratings directly impact the annual operating costs and long-term savings.
Diesel Price (MX$/liter) $24.50
Diesel Efficiency (km/liter) 8.5 km/L
Electricity Price (MX$/kWh) $6.50
Electric Efficiency (km/kWh) 3.2 km/kWh
Maintenance Costs
Maintenance expenses per kilometer vary significantly between vehicle types. Electric vehicles typically require 40-60% lower maintenance costs compared to diesel vehicles.
Diesel Maintenance (MX$/km) $2.80
Electric Maintenance (MX$/km) $1.20
Financial Parameters
Financial assumptions with direct TCO impact: Interest rate affects financing costs and present value calculations. Inflation escalates operational costs annually. Vehicle lifespan and residual value determine depreciation and end-of-life recovery.
Vehicle Life (years) 8 years
Interest Rate (%) 12%
Inflation (%) 4%
Residual Value (%) 15%
🔮 Future Considerations - v1.0.1
Variables displayed for reference but not included in current TCO calculations. These parameters may impact vehicle selection and operational efficiency in future model versions.

Note: The following variables are displayed for reference but do not impact TCO calculations in this version. They will be considered for implementation in future versions.

Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) - Tons 4.5T
Payload Capacity (Tons) 2.8T
Operating Hours/Day 10 hrs
Load Utilization (%) 75%

Potential Impact in Future Versions:

  • GVW & Payload: May affect vehicle selection, insurance rates, and operational efficiency
  • Operating Hours: Could impact driver costs, overtime rates, and maintenance schedules
  • Load Utilization: May influence fuel/energy efficiency and route optimization costs
