Fleet Preventive maintenance is a proactive approach to managing vehicle maintenance in which FSMs concentrate on inspections, servicing, and repairs occurring regularly and at predetermined intervals, intending to prevent breakdowns and extend the working life of vehicle components and systems. Preventive maintenance is common practice and often desired or mandatory in industry and must be considered an integral part of any organization’s fleet management if it wishes to retain the efficiency, safety, and performance of its commercial fleet. A structured and formalized PM program, if correctly designed and implemented, will significantly minimize the risk of unplanned failures, help reduce high repair costs resulting from such sporadic events, and improve compliance with regulatory constraints.

Preventive maintenance includes simple tasks such as oil changes, brake inspections, tire rotations, and engine diagnostics. By taking care of these services regularly, they can help to flag problems before they turn into costly repairs and keep vehicles off the road for long periods. The added benefit of a good preventative maintenance program is a more efficient fleet, which translates to better fuel economy and lower operating costs.
