Maintenance insights – what is fleet management?

The purpose of sustainable fleet management is to lengthen the lifecycle of the rolling stock through responsibility for its lifecycle management and maintenance. Efficient fleet management provides cost-savings and saves environmental resources.

In fleet management, the focus is on long-term rolling stock maintenance and ensuring its operational condition throughout the lifecycle. Lifecycle management begins even before rolling stock is deployed in the specification phase of the rolling stock needs. Smart rolling stock solutions have an impact on lifecycle maintenance. At the end of the lifecycle of the rolling stock, proper decommissioning must also be ensured.

The purpose of responsible fleet management is to lengthen the lifecycle of the rolling stock by ensuring the durability of its components and parts. Extending the lifecycle of spare parts in use instead of new parts and ensuring that the components remain in working order for as long as possible saves both costs and environmental resources. Regular optimised servicing of the rolling stock maintains the operational capacity while ensuring its safety.
