For fleet managers, timing is everything when it comes to vehicle replacement. Wait too long, and maintenance costs spike while reliability plummets. Replace too soon, and you could be throwing away thousands on a vehicle that still has life left in it.

In this episode of The Fleet Code, we explore a third option: remanufacturing. Jonathan Carr, President of Vehicle Reman, joins us to break down the numbers behind replacement vs. remanufacturing, which fleets benefit the most, and how to minimize downtime while maximizing cost savings.
