Annual Report 2023

59 2023 Annual Report Transport International Holdings Limited KMB and LWB operate over 4,000 buses daily, making us one of the largest bus companies globally. We make it our mission to provide safe, reliable, and comfortable bus services to passengers. The KMB engineering team constantly researches and implements various safety and monitoring systems, aiming to achieve the goal of “prevention being better than cure” for the entire bus fleet. The Preventive Maintenance System was recently introduced to our fleet, which remotely collects real-time performance data of vehicle components. This allows engineers to promptly identify potential issues and accurately predict the probability of component failures, enabling them to devise appropriate repair and maintenance measures to enhance the mechanical reliability and operational efficiency. Furthermore, the collected data are also used to enhance the efficiency of bus maintenance and servicing. Engineers can prioritise maintenance and servicing tasks based on the performance of vehicle components, effectively allocating manpower and planning parts ordering. This ensures optimal resource utilisation and improves cost-effectiveness. Andrew Kwan, KMB Operations Director
