Convert fuel consumption to €/km
Translate litres per 100 km and the diesel price into a fuel cost per kilometre. For example, 32 L/100 km at €1.50/L equals €0.48/km before any other cost is added.
Logistics planning tool
Truck Cost per KM Calculator
Truck Cost per KM Calculator brings truck fuel consumption and fuel price, AdBlue, maintenance, tyres, annual mileage and fixed vehicle and driver costs into the same LogicCalc workspace as route, timing and transport economics. Review true truck cost per kilometre with fuel, variable and fixed-cost components shown separately before quoting or dispatching.

How it works
How it works
Reduce the truck cost model to one internal €/km baseline while keeping the components visible. Fuel, other kilometre-driven costs and the kilometre share of annual fixed expenses should not be mixed into an unexplained single number.
Add other variable costs
Add AdBlue, maintenance, tyres and other kilometre-driven expenses so fuel is not mistaken for the full running cost.
Allocate fixed costs per kilometre
Spread annual driver and vehicle fixed costs across realistic annual mileage, then combine them with variable cost to obtain the internal cost per total kilometre.
Typical use cases
What you can use Truck Cost per KM Calculator for
Use cost per kilometre as an internal unit-cost baseline for route economics, benchmarking and rate decisions — not as an automatic customer price.
Rate negotiation
Check whether a negotiated €/km rate is above the truck’s current internal cost base before considering empty running and route-specific extras.
Fleet benchmarking
Compare fleet profiles using the same annual mileage and cost assumptions so the €/km difference has operational meaning.
Cost-per-km control
Track how fuel price, consumption, maintenance or utilisation changes move the cost per kilometre over time.
Practical example
Practical example
With 32 L/100 km at €1.50/L, fuel alone costs €0.48/km. LogicCalc then adds AdBlue, maintenance, tyres and the per-kilometre share of annual fixed costs to show the real operating cost.
Frequently asked questions
Truck Cost per KM Calculator FAQ
Is fuel cost per kilometre the same as truck cost per kilometre?
No. Fuel is only one variable component. The real truck cost per kilometre can also include AdBlue, maintenance, tyres, driver cost, lease, insurance, tax, depreciation and other fixed expenses.
Should fixed costs be included in €/km?
Yes if the purpose is to estimate the full internal operating cost. Fixed annual costs need to be allocated across realistic annual kilometres so every kilometre carries its share of the vehicle and driver cost base.
Should empty kilometres be included?
The internal cost-per-total-kilometre baseline should reflect every kilometre the truck actually runs. To convert that into the minimum revenue needed per loaded kilometre, use the break-even rate calculation with the empty-mileage share.
Can I quote customers directly at this €/km value?
Usually not. It is an internal cost baseline. A sell rate may also need empty-mileage recovery, tolls, trip-specific charges, margin and the commercial conditions of the job.
What to verify before pricing
A neat €/km number can be misleading if the annual mileage or cost components behind it are incomplete.
- Base fixed-cost allocation on realistic annual kilometres; optimistic mileage can artificially lower the calculated €/km.
- Keep fuel consumption and fuel price assumptions current, especially when comparing vehicles or periods.
- Do not confuse cost per total kilometre with the required revenue per loaded kilometre when empty running exists.
