The repair of trucks and the replacement of spare parts and spare parts in workshops recovers the level of 2009

The report on 'The Industrial Vehicle' by Audatex predicts an increase in the repair of trucks and heavy vehicles and the replacement of spare parts, spare parts and accessories of around 5% per year until 2020. One of the reasons for the increase in the activity of the workshops is the increase in the fleet of trucks up to five years old, which has gone from 15% to 20% between 2011 and 2016.

But while the 'rejuvenation' of the fleet of new trucks, the group of heavy vehicles is also increasing. It is estimated that in 2020, the number of trucks in circulation with more than fifteen years of age will rise to 34% of the heavy mobile fleet.

According to the Audatex report, one of every three repairs has as client a truck between 6 and 10 years old, a segment that nevertheless represents 25% of the state park. It is estimated that trucks have to go through the workshop to renew parts and spare parts and repair breakdowns at least once every 60,000 kilometers traveled. 

This is a consequence of the fact that a good part of the maintenance and repair of the trucks continues to be carried out by the drivers of the vehicles, who use their own tools and acquire the spare parts, accessories and spare parts in stores such as Recambiosdelcamion.com that have an extensive catalog of references in lighting, maintenance products, supplies, bodywork, cabin elements and accessories, such as the useful JBM 216 tool kit that is on sale throughout this month (with a 35% discount) and the socket outlet of 7-pole Erich Jaeger, compatible with ADR, ABS and EBSS coils, 24 volts and with 7 or 5 pins, which have a 28% discount on the list price.
