5 Principles of Effective Fleet Management

Expecting an emergency situation is one of the costliest mistakes in fleet management. A vehicle breakdown leads to unplanned downtime, schedule disruptions, additional repair costs, and increased strain on other equipment. Effective maintenance should not only address breakdowns but also help identify them before failure occurs. Engine and transmission oils, greases, and other fluids play a crucial role in this process.

Does switching to Shell motor oil affect its consumption (burn-off)?

At first glance, urban driving with traffic jams and off-roading with towing seem to be completely different operating scenarios. In the first case, the car moves slowly in traffic, often stopping and starting again. In the second, the engine operates under high load, wheels may slip, and the speed remains low. However, for motor oils for passenger cars, these situations share a common denominator: both fall into the category of severe operating conditions.

Water Treatment as a Mandatory Part of Building Projects: FLOWIX Strategy

Industrial water treatment and its planning are often postponed until the final stages of construction or even until the moment the facility is put into operation. This approach can lead to additional costs and technical limitations that affect the efficiency of engineering systems throughout the building's lifecycle. Water treatment for businesses should be part of the planning process from the design stage.
