Late maintenance = breakdown, €3K–€8K per case

Late maintenance = roadside breakdown. A single case: €3,000–€8,000 cost (mobile service + recovery + trip cancellation + customer loss). Worse: AETR window has to reset, replacement driver dispatched.

Industry case: 100 trucks × 5–8 preventable breakdowns/year = €20K–€60K annual loss.

DTC early warning + km threshold

Lognari combines two signals:

Signal 1 — Live DTC: ECU fault codes read via OBD2. Critical codes (turbo low pressure, cooling, AdBlue) trigger instant alarm. Low-priority codes go into daily report.

Signal 2 — Km threshold: Truck-specific threshold per maintenance item:

Critical threshold (≤ 10% remaining) → service-appointment suggestion.

Impact by fleet size

Pilot — 130-truck distribution fleet

At pilot start: 11 roadside breakdowns/year, €5,200/case average. After a 12-month pilot:

  • DTC early warning active
  • Km-threshold maintenance calendar (auto service-appointment suggestion)
  • Ops-centre dashboard

Result:

  • Annual breakdowns 11 → 3 cases (73% reduction)
  • Annualised savings €42,000
  • Customer satisfaction +14%

What’s next

If you’ve seen 2+ roadside breakdowns in the last 12 months, you don’t have a preventive maintenance layer. A 30-day pilot wires up DTC + maintenance calendar across the fleet.

Vom Kommandobildschirm zum Feldfluss

Hören Sie auf, dem Betrieb zuzusehen. Führen Sie ihn.

Vom Kommandobildschirm im Büro bis zum Feldfluss des Fahrers decken wir die unsichtbaren Verluste gemeinsam auf. Im ersten Gespräch analysieren wir Seite an Seite, welche Verluste über Ihre Fahrzeug-, Routen-, Kraftstoff-, Grenz-, Finanz- und Fahrerdaten sichtbar werden.
