In recent years, the repair of truck parts and the refurbishment of van parts have seen significant advancements. This method of maintenance offers many benefits for transport companies but often goes unnoticed. In this article, we will discuss three major advantages of truck repair services and van repair solutions.
Just as purchasing a new truck can take a big chunk out of your budget, new truck spare parts can also be quite expensive. Much like how a second-hand truck is a budget-friendly alternative to a new one, refurbished parts offer a cost-effective solution compared to brand-new components. Trucks and vans cover long distances, leading to significant wear and tear on their parts. This makes maintenance costs for commercial vehicles a considerable expense. By opting for refurbished parts instead of new ones, you can save up to 80% on the purchase of an electronic component from ACTRONICS. These savings can quickly add up to hundreds of euros per part for commercial vehicles.
The circular economy is becoming increasingly important, and sustainability is a growing factor to consider. The transport sector is also adapting to this trend. We have been working with environmental standards (such as Euro-6) for some time, new trucks and vans are equipped with smart technologies, and drivers are trained to drive efficiently. However, these are not the only ways to contribute to a sustainable transport industry. By choosing to refurbish, restore, or repair van parts, you can save kilograms of raw materials! Since your existing part is being refurbished, no new raw materials are needed for a replacement, and your old part doesn't end up as waste. For example, refurbishing an instrument cluster from a DAF truck saves 1.43kg of raw materials per part, while a Ford Transit MK100 ESP refurbishment saves nearly 2kg of materials. Considering how many of these commercial vehicles are on international roads, the sustainability potential of refurbishment is enormous!
Time is money, especially in the transport sector. The longer a truck or van is out of service, the more inconvenient it becomes. This makes it crucial to install parts with minimal effort. Unlike new or used parts, a refurbished part does not need to be reprogrammed. All software and settings remain intact, allowing for a straightforward "plug & play" installation. Besides preserving software settings, it is equally important that truck repair and van repair services are carried out as quickly as possible.
