Optimize preventive maintenance across diverse vehicle types with our mixed fleet policy. Ensure consistent mileage-based scheduling while adapting to different equipment needs for maximum efficiency and compliance.
Unified policies for diverse fleets ensuring peak performance and reduced costs.
A mixed fleet policy provides a standardized framework for managing preventive maintenance in fleets with diverse vehicle types, using mileage as the primary trigger while accommodating variations in equipment requirements.
This policy addresses the challenges of maintaining different vehicle classes under a unified system, incorporating Schedule A Tasks for basic checks and scaling up to Schedule D Tasks for comprehensive overhauls, all triggered by Mileage Trigger Tables.
| Vehicle Type | Mileage Interval | Adjustment Factor |
|---|---|---|
| Light Trucks | Standard | 1.0x |
| Medium Duty | Adjusted | 1.2x |
| Heavy Haulers | Intensive | 1.5x |
| Specialized Equipment | Custom | Variable |
| Off-Road Vehicles | Severe | 2.0x |

Get answers to frequently asked questions about implementing mileage-based mixed fleet policies
A mixed fleet policy is a comprehensive maintenance framework that standardizes procedures across different vehicle types while allowing for specific adjustments based on usage and requirements.
Mileage serves as the primary trigger, with adjustment factors applied based on vehicle type and duty cycle to ensure appropriate maintenance intervals.
Initial setup may increase planning costs by 10-15%, but overall maintenance expenses typically decrease by 20-30% through better efficiency.
Incorporate severity factors and alternative triggers like hours or calendar dates to accommodate varying operational conditions.
Maintain vehicle inventories, adjustment rationales, maintenance logs, and compliance records for all fleet types.
Provide type-specific training modules, reference guides, and regular updates on policy changes and best practices.
