Mercedes-Benz Vans highlights hidden cost of vehicle downtime
Mercedes-Benz Vans UK cited Opinium research of 500 UK business decision-makers, finding firms lose an average of £1,172 per day when vans are taken off the road, with 6.5 days of disruption over the past year. Downtime was linked to staff stress (41%), workflow disruption (33%), customer complaints (about 25%) and missed targets. Mercedes promotes its Van Uptime Monitor and 24/7 MobiloVan roadside cover to reduce unplanned downtime.
