Summary:

A different approach to the study of drivetrain cost comparisons is presented, using 175 units operating within two fleets. Engine, transmission, clutch, driveshaft, universal joint, et cetera, were identical, item for item; the exceptions being identical brake types but different manufacture and differences in the manufacture of chassis.All units were serviced by the same mechanics. Use of a data bank by the mechanics gave a true cost/mile for the two fleets compared, and showed that good record keeping would provide fleet managers continued benefits
