Mixed case: a decision to make

Mixed case: you have a strategic decision to make

You are required on vehicles that perform international trips or cabotage, even if occasional. You have two possible paths: dedicate 1-2 vehicles to foreign trips (cheaper, less flexible) or upgrade the entire fleet (larger investment but full operational flexibility).

  • Path A — Dedicate 1-2 vehicles abroad: ~€1,500-2,500 + VAT per vehicle, keep the domestic fleet unchanged.
  • Path B — Upgrade the entire fleet: larger investment but full operational flexibility.
  • Simple break-even: if foreign trips exceed ~100/year, path B is more robust.
  • In any case the dedicated vehicle needs G2V2, driver card, trained drivers.
