Winter is fast approaching & now is a good time to think about how to prepare your fleet business.

🚚If vehicles aren’t prepared for the cold weather, it could lead to accidents & breakdowns – leaving drivers roadside in dangerous conditions.

Winter road hazards include:

⛈Heavy rain leading to slippery driving conditions
🤕Fog causing poor visibility
🎐High winds creating hazardous driving conditions, particularly for high sided HGVs and trucks
☃Snow & Ice

Check these items during preventative maintenance to make sure vehicles are ready for winter conditions:

Fuel- Keep at least one quarter of the way full to prevent freezing
Tires- Check traction and air pressure often
Wipers- Check regularly to make sure they can clear snow to allow visibility
Antifreeze- Keep full to prevent vehicles from breaking down in cold weather
Battery-Check regularly to prevent breakdown in cold weather

“According to the latest data, petrol is set for an increase of 73 cents a litre, diesel an increase of 39 cents, and illuminating paraffin an increase of 37 cents."

Contributing to the hefty rise is the announcement made by finance minister Tito Mboweni in his 2021 budget speech, that fuel levies will increase by 27 cents a litre.

"With the increase to the levies factored in, petrol could rise by as much as R1 a litre, and diesel by 66 cents a litre. The levies are not added to the cost of illuminating paraffin.”
