TCO Glossary:
Insurance Cost: It is mandatory for every vehicle running on Indian roads to have an insurance coverage both for the vehicle and third party. This Insurance requires a premium to be paid every year. The sum of premiums of the vehicle for a period of five years gives the insurance cost.
Fuel Cost: Every vehicle returns different mileage. Depending upon the monthly running kilometers, mileage and fuel type, the fuel cost will vary.
Tyre Change Cost: This includes the cost involved in replacing the existing tyres with new ones during 5 years
Service Cost: Every automobile will require a regular maintenance and the expense for this maintenance varies depending upon the brand, kilometers run and age of the vehicle. This service/ maintenance cost has been calculated for a period of 5 years.
Depreciation: The value of every vehicle goes down from the time of manufacturing throughout the useful life. This decrease in value year on year throughout the useful life of the vehicle is called depreciation.
