# **TRAC Leasing for Fleets**

A TRAC lease—a type of open end lease—offers flexibility and control for organizations that operate vehicles beyond standard mileage or term assumptions. EMKAY’s TRAC leasing solutions are designed for fleets that want transparency, adaptability, and stronger alignment between vehicle usage and financial outcomes.

  

For long-term and high-mileage fleets, TRAC leasing provides a strategic alternative to traditional fixed-term leasing structures.

## **What is a TRAC Lease?**

A TRAC (Terminal Rental Adjustment Clause) lease is a form of open end leasing commonly used in commercial fleet leasing. Unlike closed-end leases, TRAC leases allow residual values to adjust based on actual vehicle performance at the end of the term.

  

This structure makes TRAC leasing especially effective for fleets with large or variable fleets, higher mileage vehicles, and evolving operational needs.

Best For

- Higher Mileage Vehicles No mileage caps or per-mile overages — ideal for fleets that drive far.![Higher Mileage Vehicles](https://emkay.com/_ipx/s_48x48/leasing/trac/1.png)
- Larger Fleet Operations Scale up or down without being locked into fixed-term structures.![Larger Fleet Operations](https://emkay.com/_ipx/s_48x48/leasing/trac/2.png)
- Evolving Operational Needs Adjust vehicle mix, swap assets, and re-optimize as your business changes.![Evolving Operational Needs](https://emkay.com/_ipx/s_48x48/leasing/trac/3.png)
- Strategic Fleet Alignment Vehicle usage and financial outcomes stay aligned.![Strategic Fleet Alignment](https://emkay.com/_ipx/s_48x48/leasing/trac/4.png)

## **How Residuals Work in a TRAC Lease**

Residual value is the projected worth of the vehicle at lease end. In TRAC, that projection is shared and settled against real market outcomes.

- **Scenario A****Vehicle sells above projected** Market conditions favor your asset — the surplus flows back to your organization.You keep the upside
- **Scenario B****Vehicle sells at projected** Ideal outcome — residual estimate was accurate, no adjustment needed.Zero settlement
- **Scenario C****Vehicle sells below projected** You cover the shortfall — EMKAY's planning minimizes this exposure from day one.Settlement due
