Service intervals for long-distance-haulage applications are set at 100,000 kilometres. The Telligent® maintenance system (fitted as standard on Axor models up to 240 kW/326 hp, otherwise optional) opens up the possibility of individual service intervals of as much as 120,000 kilometres, by taking the actual vehicle load as its guideline. Being able to do this involves registering every single cold start, for example. The condition of the engine oil together with all major assembly oils is checked constantly, as is the coolant level. The system indicates when the air cleaner or fuel filter require replacement, as well as displaying the degree of brake pad wear. This allows maximum use to be made of all fuels and lubricants. Servicing can also be scheduled in advance and timed to coincide with the inspections prescribed by law, for example, to avoid additional vehicle downtime.
Any faults are stored by the Telligent® maintenance system, although it will only notify the driver if action needs to be taken. Less serious faults or temporary malfunctions will be read out during the next routine visit to the workshop. This keeps time-consuming troubleshooting – often the most costly part of the repair process – to a minimum.
This maintenance system makes things as simple as possible for the driver: basically, if no flashing lights appear, then that is the all-clear to set off. In other words, apart from checking tyre pressures, the entire daily vehicle inspection can be conducted from the comfort of the driver's seat. Something which saves precious time, each and every morning. |
