 Because fleet maintenance is costly and time-consuming, anything that you do to try and lower those costs can be considered an investment, and, as with any investment, it pays to do a return on investment (ROI) analysis. Emergency service vehicles, in particular, face multiple brake system repairs every year.
The following is a ROI analysis for the average brake system repair costs for a Fire Truck:
UNTREATED ROTORS:
Component Cost per Wheel End
Brake Rotor 3218Z 156 = $290.00
TOTAL COST PER AXLE = $580.00
TWO AXLES PER TRUCK = $1160.00
(Typical Service Life of 4 Months = 3 Brake Jobs per Year)
TOTAL COST PER YEAR FOR A FIRE TRUCK WITH UNTREATED ROTORS = $3480.00
DIAMOND TREATED ROTORS:
Component Cost per Wheel End
Brake Rotor = $352.63
TOTAL COST PER AXLE =$705.26
TOTAL COST PER TRUCK= $1410.52
(Typical Service life = Over 100,000 Miles/1 Brake Job – Diamond Treatment)
TOTAL COST PER YEAR FOR A FIRE TRUCK WITH DIAMOND TREATED ROTORS=$1410.52
FIRST YEAR SAVINGS ON ROTORS = $2069.48
SECOND YEAR SAVINGS ON ROTORS = $3480.00
It is important to note that this ROI analysis of these fleet maintenance savings do NOT reflect the additional savings you will receive on labor, vehicle down time, as well as any related savings on brake shoes. These savings just continue to mount, lowering your fleet maintenance bottom line with every passing year.
