1. Estimate the number of (rigid and articulated) trucks in the fleet in the next year;
Note the number of underrun protected (UP) and non UP vehicles in fleet the last year,
Reduce these by a 3% assumed fleet attrition rate,
Note the number of vehicles that were registered in the last year,
Multiply this by 0.8 to remove the influence of European vehicles assumed to be already fitted with; and
Add this to the last year’s reduced UP fleet to get the size of the UP fleet and the total fleet for the next year.

4. Estimate the unit cost of a side UP device;
Estimate the unit cost of a side UP device per vehicle metre,
Note the proportion of each type (rigid and articulated) and length of trucks in the fleet this year’
Multiply this by the length of different types of truck and trailers,
Calculate a weighted average unit cost (rigid and articulated) by proportioning this out by the relative numbers of different trucks and trailers in the fleet.
