Projected Long-term Savings Decreased unscheduled maintenance activities Increase in vehicle life expectancy, extending vehicle replacement schedules Improvement in productive labor associated with cold weather and storm event impacts

Reduced Vehicle Maintenance Costs: The extreme temperature and precipitation fluctuations of weather are one of the primary causes of the premature deterioration of vehicle bodies and components, rubber parts and tires, paint oxidation and drive train components (due to cold/low flow lubrication). Brakes, axles, springs and exhaust systems are significantly compromised by outside storage as well. DPW vehicles can spend as much as seventy-five percent of their useful life parked in the open and unprotected from the elements, waiting to be placed in service. Preventive maintenance is also increased with outside storage due to lubrication fluid and grease breakdown caused by extreme temperatures.
