The Monitoring Of Operating Costs Of The Vehicles In The Czech Army

The paper deals with monitoring of operating costs of the vehicles in the Czech Army. The cost reduction is realized through the methods of controling, improvement of field maintenance quality, modularization of the units, acquiring of new equipment, the options of reducing fuel consumption by additives, trends in the maintenance area and surveillance systems implemented for check of the vehicles operation. Significantly, we proceeded to the method of cost reduction by implementing new equipment. We have proved the method success. Especially with vehicles T 810 the demostrated savings were about 12.7% of motor diesel in 2008. Similarly, it was also proved in 2009, when that the savings for the same vehicle T 810 in seven modifications were about 11.9% of diesel. The total contribution for the selected military facility of Czech Army was shown by significant overall saving. In 2009, the selected military facility used a total of 9 pieces of new vehicles T 810. The saving of the replaced equipment meant a total fuel savings of 1862 liters, which amounted to 2.34% of the total consumption of diesel.
