Based on a 10-vehicle fleet in Australia, it costs fleet owners on average $4,000-$7,000 annually in repairs and maintenance, with nearly 50% of those costs coming from preventable causes. Preventable is the keyword here, and by implementing the proper methods that focus on this, the prices of these fleet repairs and maintenance can be cut drastically and, in doing so, protects your fleet’s profits.

The first step to reduce fleet operating costs is fuel. Itโs no secret fuel prices have been highly volatile, with diesel and petrol prices upwards of $2.50 per litre in 2022. This volatility gives fleet owners heavily fluctuating operating costs that can be hard to plan for, and this canโt be addressed directly by simply lowering the fuel price. But we can target this indirectly by managing your fleet’s fuel consumption by improving and maintaining your fleet’s fuel economy.

Fleets operating efficiency is negatively affected particularly within transport, delivery and construction fleets. Here vehicles idle up to 40% of their total operating time. The first and most obvious issue is consuming fuel to sit in a static location. Another problem with this is that continued running of the engine at idle will significantly contribute to carbon build-up. This causes much more wear and tear on engine components whilst reducing overall efficiency and performance. It may only sometimes be possible or efficient to turn the fleet vehicles engine off. As a result implementing measures to reduce and prevent carbon build up are essential.
