Fleet maintenance refers to the practices and processes used to keep vehicles in optimal working condition, ensuring reliability, safety, and cost efficiency. There are three main types of fleet maintenance:

Preventive Maintenance:

Preventive maintenance is a proactive approach where vehicles are serviced regularly based on schedules or mileage intervals. Tasks include oil changes, brake inspections, tire rotations, and fluid checks. The goal is to identify and resolve small issues before they become costly breakdowns, reducing unplanned downtime.

Predictive Maintenance:

Predictive maintenance relies on real-time data, sensors, and diagnostics to forecast when specific parts or systems might fail. By analyzing trends such as mileage, temperature, and vehicle performance, fleet managers can schedule repairs only when necessary. This approach optimizes maintenance costs and prevents unexpected failures.

Corrective Maintenance:

Corrective maintenance addresses issues after a breakdown or when a malfunction occurs. While necessary for unexpected failures, it is more expensive and can lead to downtime that impacts operations.
