Fleet managers should ensure they
keep maintenance costs under control if they choose to extend
vehicle replacement cycles, Jaama has warned.
The fleet management software
provider said that as the age of a vehicle increases “so do
maintenance costs, particularly as company cars and vans emerge out
of comprehensive manufacturer warranty cover”.

To visually identify whether
service, maintenance and repair (SMR) costs outweigh depreciation,
Jaama has developed a function within its Key2 Vehicle Management
System with a ‘red’ and ‘green’ forecasting graphic, the company
said.
Jaama MD Jason Francis explained:
“Key2 tracks individual vehicle maintenance costs against budgets
so fleet managers can see how they have added up over the lifecycle
of the vehicle and then extrapolates what spending patterns will be
over the coming months.
“Fleet managers can graphically
view exactly where vehicle costs move from a normal curve up to a
spike via the ‘red’ and ‘green’ graphics and then identify the
optimum age of the car or van when it should be defleeted.”
