Vehicle Identification & Specification

Why identify optional equipment on a vehicle?

Optional equipment describes additional features that can be added to a vehicle at any point in its lifecycle.

When designing, leasing or remarketing vehicles, it’s essential you compare against close competitors. This helps you set successful pricing policies and ensures you stock desirable vehicles.

However, a vehicle with optional extras may become so different that it is no longer comparable to the ‘naked’ model. Plus, not all optional extras have the same impact on a vehicle’s performance, value or desirability.

With access to fast and accurate specification data you can evaluate the impact of optional equipment on your company’s risk position. You can also spot the most desirable vehicles and  boost profitable turnover.
