Lengthened Replacement Cycles The consequence of lengthened replacement

cycles brings an increase in unexpected and costly repairs

After 7 years repairs become more frequent

Trade-in values decrease around $300K/Year

Cost of new vehicles increases annually

Why Replace the Fleet at 7 Years Trading-in the fleet at the 7 year mark

maximizes buy-back funds

Purchasing multiple apparatus at one time adds buying power and cost reductions

New warranties mean a reduction in maintenance costs

New fleet reduces down-time thus better service to the community
