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:
| Maintenance item | Threshold | Last done | Current km | Km remaining |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Engine oil | 80,000 km | 320,000 km | 392,000 | 8,000 km |
| Cooling check | 200,000 km | 200,000 km | 392,000 | 8,000 km (due) 🚩 |
| AdBlue filter | 60,000 km | 360,000 km | 392,000 | 28,000 km |
| Tyre (R-1) | 100,000 km | 305,000 km | 392,000 | 3,000 km 🚩 |
Critical threshold (≤ 10% remaining) → service-appointment suggestion.
Impact by fleet size
| Fleet | Annual preventable breakdowns | Typical case cost | Annual protection |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 trucks | 5–8 cases | €4,000 avg | €20K-€32K |
| 300 trucks | 15–24 cases | €4,000 | €60K-€96K |
| 1,000 trucks | 50–80 cases | €4,000-€6,000 | €200K-€480K + customer-loss prevention |
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.
