Fleet Engineer

Luc Ferrand

Fleet engineer. Spends his time between the workshop, the telemetry dashboards and the road.

Luc leads the maintenance programme across all 250+ units in the Translog fleet. He designed the predictive service schedule that moved the company from calendar-based servicing to condition-based intervention.

His posts cover vehicle engineering, ISO 9001 maintenance practice and the unglamorous details that keep a tractor unit on the road for a million kilometres.
