A vehicle that sits unused still costs you — insurance, depreciation, a financing payment. The Utilization report answers the question behind those costs: is each vehicle in your Wialon fleet being used as much as you expect?
Wialon can tell you how far a unit drove and how long it ran. Turning that into a utilization figure — measured only during the hours you expect the vehicle to work — normally means building custom report tables and filtering by time of day by hand. FleetTAB’s Utilization report does that for you. You set what “fully used” means, and it scores the fleet.
Set the window you expect
First you describe a normal working week for your fleet — the operating window:
- The days a vehicle is expected to work, any combination from Monday to Sunday.
- The hours within those days, a start and end time.
Activity outside that window is left out of the score, so a van that runs errands on a Sunday it is not meant to work does not get credit for it. The report defaults to a Monday–Friday, 06:00–18:00 week, and you change it to match how your fleet runs.
Target by time, mileage, or both
Then you say what a well-used day looks like, with a daily target:
- By time — a number of operating hours per day, for example 8 hours.
- By mileage — a distance per day, for example 200 km.
You can use either on its own, or both together. When both are on, a score weight decides which matters more — a slider from time-heavy to mileage-heavy (90/10 down to 10/90, defaulting to 70% time, 30% mileage) — and the two are combined into a single utilization score.
See utilization per vehicle
For the period you choose, every vehicle gets a row:
- Hours used against hours available, when you measure by time.
- Distance driven against distance available, when you measure by mileage.
- A utilization percentage — used over available.
The key thing to understand is available: it is not the raw width of the time window, it is what your schedule expects. The report counts the operating days that fall inside your selected period and multiplies them by your daily target. Eleven weekdays at 8 hours is 88 available hours; a vehicle that ran 44 of them sits at 50%. Rows are colour-coded so the under-used vehicles stand out — green from 80%, amber from 50%, red below.
Four numbers for the whole fleet
Above the table, four figures summarise the fleet at a glance:
- Average utilization across every vehicle.
- Average hours per day for a vehicle.
- Average distance per day for a vehicle.
- Unused vehicles — how many scored zero for the period.
That last number is usually the one that pays for itself: the vehicles you could sell, redeploy, or stop paying for.
Pick a period and export
Run the report over any range — last month, last 30 days, year to date — then take it with you. The Utilization report exports to Excel, PDF, and JSON: Excel and PDF for sharing and sign-off, JSON for scripts and AI tools that read the numbers directly.
