Ridecell's founder and CEO AJ Trivedi engages with Chris Brown on ways fleets can automate vehicle lifecycle management to maximize asset revenues.
According to industry service provider epyx, the average age of a gas-powered fleet car undergoing service, maintenance and repair has risen by more than a year since the start of the COVID pandemic in 2020.
Many factors continue to exert upward pressure on fleet maintenance costs (with longer service lives as the primary driver).
Jim Liverseed of Tennant Company does the little things right regarding keeping high-mileage fleet units running smoothly. But in the big picture, it’s all about managing data, lifecycle costing, and communication.
Extending replacement parameters is often counterproductive to the intended goal. Longer service lives increases unscheduled maintenance with longer downtime and increases the number of units operating outside of warranty.
Extended replacement cycles for short-term capital expenditure savings often have the unintended consequence of resulting in greater long-term expenses.
The top blog posts of the year included five test drives, as did posts arguing for short-cycling, rethinking the total cost of ownership equation, and improving maintenance management.
Determining when exactly to cycle your vehicles is a fine balance among many factors, from acquisition, through operation, and resale or asset disposal. Here are nine questions to answer when you’re deciding when and how to best cycle your trucks.
Effective lifecycle cost analysis can determine how long assets can remain in the fleet before the cost of ownership and operation are no longer cost-effective.
Atlanta's police vehicles have an average age of seven years and roughly 72,000 miles. An audit shows that 52% of the 1,065 vehicles in the fleet were beyond their life cycle.
