AU$200-$400 million
Estimated annual construction equipment theft cost in Australia
MapTrack compiled Australian equipment-theft benchmarks for operators managing plant, tools and mobile assets.
Original source: MapTrack compiled research (2026)
40-50%
Share of fleet equipment reported underutilised or unused
Idle or underused equipment ties up capital, storage and maintenance spend even before it breaks down.
Original source: Teletrac Navman Equipment Utilization Report (2026)
40-55%
Reactive maintenance share for fleets without a digital system
Reactive maintenance usually means the work starts after an asset has already interrupted a job.
Original source: Fleet Equipment Magazine (2024)
3 to 9x
Reactive repairs cost more than planned preventive maintenance
Emergency repairs carry premium parts, overtime labour, idle crew time and secondary-damage costs that planned work usually avoids.
Original source: US Department of Energy (2023)
12-18%
Typical maintenance cost savings from preventive maintenance
Structured preventive maintenance programmes reduce total maintenance cost compared with reactive run-to-failure approaches.
Original source: US Department of Energy (2023)
$0.15-$0.25 per km
Average commercial vehicle maintenance cost per kilometre
Maintenance cost per kilometre is a practical benchmark for comparing vehicles with different utilisation levels.
