Businesses Focus on Vehicle Maintenance Amidst Pressure
Vehicle upkeep rose by 3 percentage points from January to February, positioning maintenance as a priority as businesses face a spike in operational pressure.
Among the firms prioritizing vehicle upkeep, 70% are focusing on preventative maintenance as their top strategy. This indicates that logistics businesses are solidifying their current operations to help secure them against further disruptions.
“With the industry currently volatile, we’re seeing companies are taking steps to invest now and protect themselves in the future. The move is an essential one, as companies look to maintain some semblance of control where they can, in the face of ever more challenges and disruption to the supply chain.” Jack Turner, Editor at Tech.co
Behind preventative maintenance, logistics businesses are also employing methods such as addressing mechanical issues (52%) and upgrading/replacing components (51%). As pressure rises, this further shows logistics businesses are in a state of pre-emptive strengthening.
