Years Expertise
More than fifteen years of senior international experience providing practical and impactful transport and fleet consultancy solutions.
Transport Projects
Executed over one hundred complex transport projects supporting operational transformation and fleet optimisation internationally.
Some examples of Transport Programmes Delivered
Bid responses and mobilisation
Prepared technical bid responses, maintenance methodologies, resource plans and depot requirements, translating operational commitments into practical delivery plans.
New technology and asset data
Developed approaches to move from scheduled to optimised and predictive maintenance, using vehicle data and systems such as Maximo, Oracle and SAP to support better decisions.
Developed technical planning for zero-emission vehicles and intelligent transport systems.
Led maintenance and technical services across a large public transport operation, with responsibility for the performance of vehicles, depots and engineering teams.
Fleet reliability improvement
Used detailed root cause analysis to address recurring vehicle defects, refine maintenance activities and improve operational reliability.
Maintenance delivery transformation
Reduced costs by reorganising departments, combining related activities, bringing selected outsourced work in-house and procuring new suppliers.
Demand-responsive transport fleet
Developed a maintenance approach for a large fleet of minibuses, including wheelchair-accessible vehicles, covering inspections, corrective work, warranty and ITS technology.
Depot and workshop capability
Developed depot requirements and equipment maintenance plans to support safe, effective engineering operations.

Potential Efficiency Improvement
Performance improvement programmes can identify significant opportunities across maintenance efficiency, workshop productivity and fleet utilisation. The scale of improvement will depend on the organisation’s existing operating model, asset condition, data quality and starting performance.
Turning operational insight into measurable improvement
MBR Mobility Advisory helps transport organisations identify and unlock opportunities to improve the performance of fleets, engineering functions and supporting infrastructure. Our approach combines operational experience with structured analysis to establish where capacity, cost and performance improvements can realistically be achieved.
We examine the complete maintenance and asset-management environment rather than focusing on individual processes in isolation. This can include maintenance planning and scheduling, vehicle availability, workshop productivity, labour utilisation, parts and materials, repeat defects, technical performance, asset reliability and the effectiveness of supporting systems and data.
The objective is to identify the operational constraints that are reducing performance and convert them into a prioritised improvement programme with clear ownership, measurable outcomes and practical implementation requirements.
Performance improvement opportunities can include:
- Increasing fleet availability and reducing vehicles unavailable for service.
- Improving planned maintenance compliance and workshop throughput.
- Reducing repeat defects, avoidable failures and maintenance-related service disruption.
- Improving technician, facility and workshop capacity utilisation.
- Strengthening maintenance planning, scheduling and work control.
- Using operational and engineering data to identify emerging reliability trends.
- Optimising maintenance intervals where evidence and OEM requirements support change.
- Improving parts availability and reducing delays caused by material shortages.
- Establishing meaningful engineering KPIs and management dashboards.
- Developing the transition from reactive and preventative maintenance towards condition-based and predictive maintenance.
From diagnosis to delivery
Our work is designed to go beyond identifying problems. Findings are translated into practical actions, implementation priorities and measurable performance indicators so that management teams can track whether improvements are actually being delivered.
Where appropriate, improvement programmes can establish a baseline against current performance and target measurable gains in fleet availability, maintenance productivity, reliability, asset utilisation and whole-life cost.
Performance improvement programmes can identify significant opportunities across maintenance efficiency, workshop productivity and fleet utilisation. The scale of improvement will depend on the organisation’s existing operating model, asset condition, data quality and starting performance.
Why Work With Us
MBR Mobility Advisory brings independent judgment and hands-on transport experience to complex operational decisions. We work with authorities, operators and suppliers to understand the condition of their assets, the causes of poor performance and the risks within existing plans.
Our support can include fleet and maintenance reviews, reliability improvement, depot planning, contract and supplier assessment, technical bid responses, mobilisation and new technology adoption. Each assignment produces clear priorities, practical recommendations and an implementation route suited to the organisation’s resources.
The aim is stronger safety, more dependable services, better use of assets and sustainable whole-life cost and not a report that sits on a shelf.
