Downtime can be very costly for fleet management. Every time one of your vehicles in the service bay is an hour when it could have been on the road making you money. As a fleet manager, the goal is to try to avoid downtime altogether. But as miles pile up, vehicles start to break down.

So, reducing vehicle breakdowns can directly help improve downtime issue. Breakdowns usually take place for those vehicles driving a long distance and lacking proper maintenance. Actually this problem can be solved with a GPS fleet management solution.
