The battery is a vehicle’s main life source. All other major systems in a vehicle can only function and reach peak performance if the battery has strength and power. With winter weather sticking around a bit longer, the reality is that maintaining optimal battery health is no easy feat. In fact, car battery capacity drops about 20 percent from normal in freezing weather, and down to about 50 percent when temperatures sink even further. It is imperative for fleet owners to prioritize routine battery maintenance to protect their drivers, vehicles, and their business.
Zubie’s Fleet Connect is a comprehensive fleet management system that, among many other capabilities, tracks vital routine maintenance and overall vehicle health. Sub zero temperatures can add stress and wear to your battery and increase the chance of it failing. Fleets using Zubie’s intuitive management tools can take a proactive approach to maintenance, and drastically decrease the likelihood of leaving drivers literally out in the cold.
Saving Time and Money
Zubie is able to go above and beyond simply alerting fleet owners of potential battery issues and tracking routine battery maintenance. Fleets are able to utilize a time and money saving feature – Zubie Smart Maintenance.
Smart Maintenance is an electronic maintenance scheduling platform that connects your fleet to a nationwide network of service shops. This is a simpler way to manage all maintenance and costs, and especially those related to battery health.
