Eval Tab

The Eval tab helps agencies estimate the running cost of a vehicle and assess its life span based on running costs and recorded usage. Some of the fields in the Eval tab are entered by the user. (These fields appear in white in the module.) Other fields are calculated automatically by the system. (These fields are grayed out in the module.)

User Populated Fields

To start using the Eval tab, enter values in the fields highlighted in orange and green below. The orange fields are values used to determine the status of the vehicle was when it was first used, and the maximum it will be used. The green fields are used to estimate future use.
