KEEPING COMPLIANT: CHAIN OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR FLEET OWNERS

Hi Brett, when it comes CoR compliance, what is the first thing that springs to mind to make things easier for both businesses and drivers?

Firstly, you can't go wrong by servicing in line with OEM requirements for your truck fleet. Regular and appropriate maintenance goes a long way to making your fleet CoR compliant by ensuring all components are maintained and operating as they were designed, to give you peace of mind.

There's more to it than that. Regular maintenance and servicing not only help businesses operate seamlessly but also prevent unexpected costs in the future, such as sudden breakdowns and parts replacements.

Original Equipment Manufacturers like Isuzu offer a variety of packages to plan for servicing and parts replacement which can make CoR compliance a little bit easier.

With an Isuzu Service Agreement tailored to your business and fleet size, you can effectively budget your servicing expenses. By breaking costs into monthly payments and, in the case of comprehensive Total coverage, anticipating pricier part replacements, you ensure that your vehicles remain in top condition for your drivers throughout their lifecycle.

Are there are benefits for fleets sticking with genuine parts and OEM servicing? Does this assist in CoR compliance?

The short and long answers to these questions: yes.

Genuine parts are specifically designed, manufactured, and tested for a particular make and model of a vehicle or machine. This ensures that the part fits perfectly and function as intended, reducing the risk of malfunctions or accidents that can lead to CoR breaches.

On top of this, OEM parts tend to be of higher quality and last longer than third-party or grey market parts. This means fewer breakdowns, minimising disruptions also reducing the risk of malfunctions or accidents that can lead to CoR breaches.

In the case of Isuzu Trucks, we have genuine parts engineered for the Australian climate which means the minimum and maximum temperatures are considered during the design and manufacturing process. These parts also undergo intense testing to offer the safest drive possible.

Our Isuzu National Parts Distribution Centre also stocks Isuzu approved parts and what we call our "BVP" range, alongside our Genuine Isuzu Parts. Best Value Parts are a second-tier option suited for older truck models in a fleet and have a 12-month warranty giving piece of mind that even the oldest truck in a business's fleet can be CoR compliant and continue to be

There are benefits with OEM servicing also, if you decide to use authorised service technicians in our dealer network, they are equipped with the training and tools to ensure your truck or fleet continue to operate at the highest level.
