Running vehicles is one of the largest operational expenses a business faces, yet most organisations have only a partial view of what it actually costs them. Costs land at different times in different ways. Downtime is absorbed as a frustration rather than calculated as a cost. And when a vehicle reaches end of life, the disposal figure rarely gets traced back to the original acquisition decision.

This session, led by Killian Coyne, Founder and CEO of FuelQ®, challenges anyone responsible for vehicles, whether that is one van or a full fleet, to look at the full picture of vehicle ownership. Through interactive audience exercises, you will be guided through the key components of total vehicle cost: acquisition, funding structure, fuel and energy, servicing and tyres, insurance, downtime, administration, and residual value.

The session is built around honest questions rather than polished slides. Attendees will reflect on how well they currently measure each cost category, where the blind spots tend to be, and what practical steps exist towards better visibility and control.

Key themes include: why total cost of vehicle ownership is a more useful metric than monthly spend; how acquisition decisions ripple through to operating costs years later; the hidden administrative burden on finance and operations teams; and how emerging payments and fleet management tools are making real-time data capture possible across the full vehicle lifecycle.

Killian will also share an exclusive look at PaymentQ®, a new mobility payments platform being launched in partnership with Visa. Approached directly by Visa's Global VP of Mobility, FuelQ® is one of a small number of partners selected to bring this platform to market, built on a shared belief in empowering mobility together.

Whether you run two vehicles or two hundred, you will leave with a clearer framework for understanding your true vehicle costs and the confidence to start asking better questions internally.
