Tyre Management and Fleet Maintenance Cost Reduction

Focuses on one of the largest controllable costs in any fleet, namely tyres and running maintenance. Participants learn how to track tyre life, manage retreading, control pressures and cut avoidable wear. The course uses South African cost per kilometre benchmarks and the harsh conditions of gravel roads, heat and overloading that shorten tyre and component life.
