Vehicles having a same vocation relative to each other and independent of vehicle fleet, industry vehicle application and vehicle type are benchmarked.

A grouping based on the predicted vocations and the historical vehicle data is made. A determination from the benchmarked vehicles having better performance characteristics than other vehicles of the same predicted vocations is made.
