Vehicle breakdown
Vehicles break down due to component malfunctions not detected during the periods between fixed maintenance points. Vehicles must be retrieved for repair.
Reduced lifespan
Vehicles are permanently removed from service due to catastrophic failure or repeated failure of specific components. This creates higher vehicle inventory turnover.
Unnecessary maintenance
Fixed/static maintenance schedules often result in vehicles being called in for service before service is needed. This can create a self-induced shortage of fleet vehicles.
Higher Costs
Each of the above problems creates higher operational costs for the fleet operator. Reduction of these costs would improve competitive position and financial results.
