Fleet Safety ROI

What collisions cost a fleet your size

Put in your vehicle count and see a yearly collision cost from published fleet benchmarks. Then pick a starting system and see the share of that cost it's built to cut.

The factory built your vehicles. We build the safety system around your fleet.

The calculator is a starting point. Your evaluation replaces our benchmarks with your fleet's data.

Some fleets invest in safety because keeping their people safe is part of who they are. Others need the numbers to work first. Both are good reasons.

Your fleet, your numbers

It starts from published fleet benchmarks. If you know your own figures, put them in and the estimate uses yours.

Estimated yearly cost of collisions $340,000 About 40 collisions a year at $8,500 each, repair plus downtime
Estimated yearly cost avoided with rear camera + sensors $36,000 About 4.2 fewer collisions a year
Backing collisions$85,000 · $36,000 avoided

Payback depends on your vehicle types and how you buy, direct or through your upfitter. We'll work it out with you in your evaluation.

How we calculate this, with sources

Each collision is costed as repair plus five days out of service. The estimate counts backing and lane-change collisions only, and it leaves out injury costs, insurance and disputed claims. Every figure below is replaced by yours when you enter it.

Built for your vehicles

Every install starts with your vehicle

Most fleets are covered by one of our safety packages. When a vehicle needs more, such as an older model year, a body the OEM doesn't wire for, or a tie-in to your telematics, our engineers scope the work and build the harness in Michigan.

We've done it for twenty years, starting as a Johnson Controls spin-off in 2006. Founder Jeff Varick also founded the Vision Zero Automotive Network.

Customizable solutions We sweat the integration.

How a rollout runs

From a fleet evaluation to every vehicle

Installs run through Autostrata's nationwide network on a schedule set around your routes.
