Toro launches TCO calculator
Toro launches TCO calculator: Toro, a global leader in innovative solutions for the outdoor environment, has announced the launch of an online tool to help tackle misconceptions around the costs of switching from petrol-powered tools to cordless, battery alternatives.
The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) calculator has been designed to provide business owners with a free, online tool to discover the financial benefits of making the switch to electric.

Anthony Nadalin, director of marketing at The Toro Company, said: “Most companies now realise that cordless equipment offers significant environmental benefits without sacrificing performance. However, some misconceptions remain around pricing. Our TCO calculator demonstrates the financial return on investment that businesses can achieve by switching from engine power to battery power.”
The TCO calculator makes it easy to input data for both petrol- and battery-powered machines. This includes purchase price, operating hours per year, maintenance costs, fuel and energy costs, plus any grants or rebates. The results are published as key metrics including operational cost savings per month and year, as well as how many months it takes to break even on electric equipment compared to the petrol or diesel equivalent.
Offering a free TCO calculator is the latest element in Toro’s ‘Lead the Charge’ campaign to help more companies embrace all-electric outdoor power equipment (OPE). Toro’s Revolution Series delivers like-for-like performance with its petrol or diesel equivalents. Easy to maintain and cost-effective to run, Toro’s battery-powered machines can also lower the total cost of ownership and contribute to greater business efficiency.
“For Toro, part of Lead the Charge is tackling these latest misconceptions around battery power,” added Anthony. “The calculator offers quick and easy results whether you are a local municipality with a fleet of OPE, a groundskeeping team or an independent landscaping professional. In all instances it demonstrates the potential savings, enabling you to make truly informed decisions and build the business case for going electric.”
Toro’s Revolution Series products are true commercial-grade equipment designed for professional use. With all-day runtime offered by its proprietary HyperCell® and Flex-Force battery systems, these machines deliver the same superior performance as their diesel and petrol equivalents. The environmental benefits are well understood, with up to 3x reduction in noise and no engine exhaust emissions. This means they are welcomed virtually everywhere and at any time of the day, giving operators the freedom to work extended hours.
