LCC (Life cycle costs)

Life cycle cost calculation is a powerful tool that helps to determine the correct interior lighting components needed in each case, whether in buses or trains. One of the main functions of an LCC calculation is to save on maintenance costs in the long run.
There are several different ways to carry out the calculation. As the emphasis can be placed on different factors, the results and the optimal solutions depend on the perspective adopted.

1. From the vehicle builder's perspective, the most suitable LCC calculation emphasises the purchase price and the costs of a typical 1-2 year warranty period.
2. Maintenance providers emphasise the costs of spare parts, the labour required to replace them, replacement intervals and the post-warranty procurement cost.
3. For the vehicle owner/operator, the main interest is energy consumption. The overall energy costs can be ten times the OEM purchasing and maintenance costs.
