key takeaways: building a smarter, more predictive fleet maintenance operation
Emerging compliance trends, parts and inventory price stabilisation, and how mobile service is reshaping expectations around repair cycles.
How the newest VMRS codes support OEM-driven service instructions and streamline shop communication for faster, more accurate repairs.
How leading fleets use fault codes, sensors, and automated work requests to prevent failures before they happen and shorten repair timelines.
What upcoming truck systems and regulatory shifts mean for diagnostic workflows and long-term fleet maintenance planning.
webinar summary: the future of fleet maintenance starts now
2026 marks a turning point for fleet operators. The rollout of new VMRS codes and increased access to real-time vehicle data means the era of static, mileage-based or hour-based preventive maintenance schedules is coming to an end.
In this insight-packed session, AMCS's John Davis and Fleet Management Consultant Maggie Laird cover what is next, what is working right now, and how to prepare your operation for the changing maintenance landscape.
Fleets embracing predictive, data-driven strategies are already gaining a clear edge in uptime, compliance, and cost control. This webinar shows you exactly how they are doing it.

FAQs about this webinar
The webinar covers the major shift happening in fleet maintenance in 2026, including new VMRS code updates, how to use telematics and real-time vehicle data to move from static PM schedules to predictive maintenance, and how to prepare fleets for upcoming 2027 truck system and regulatory changes.
VMRS (Vehicle Maintenance Reporting Standards) codes are a standardized system for categorizing fleet maintenance and repair data. In 2026, new VMRS codes support OEM-driven service instructions and streamline shop communication, making it easier for fleet operators to move from manual, mileage-based scheduling to predictive, data-driven maintenance strategies.
Predictive maintenance uses real-time telematics data, fault codes, and sensor readings to identify potential failures before they happen. This allows fleet managers to schedule proactive repairs, reduce unplanned downtime, shorten repair timelines, and lower overall maintenance costs compared to traditional mileage-based PM schedules.
The webinar features John Davis, Head of Delivery for Fleet Maintenance at AMCS, and Maggie Laird, Fleet Management Consultant. Both bring extensive practical experience in fleet operations, maintenance technology, and data-driven scheduling strategies.
Upcoming 2027 truck systems will introduce new diagnostic workflows and regulatory requirements. The webinar covers what fleet operators need to know now to ensure their maintenance planning, shop software, and technician processes are ready for these changes.
The content is aimed at fleet managers, maintenance directors, VP Operations, and technology decision-makers in waste management, recycling, transport, and any industry running a heavy vehicle fleet. It is particularly relevant for anyone evaluating a move from reactive or static PM schedules to a predictive maintenance approach.
