Minimising Fleet Downtime on Busy Leicester Road Networks
Primary arterial junctions such as the Pork Pie Roundabout, Soar Valley Way and the M1 Junction 21 frequently experience peak-time congestion. Mechanical breakdowns on these critical trade links lead to missed client appointments and costly operational delays.
