RS190: What Do Fleets Get Wrong About Aftertreatment Total Cost of Ownership?


Listen Later

Aftertreatment is one of the most misunderstood—and costly—parts of fleet operations. Fleets often focus on invoice price or treat DPF service as a reactive event rather than a preventive strategy. The result is increased downtime, unpredictable failures, and a cost per mile that quietly climbs.

Recorded live at TMC’s 2026 Annual Meeting, co‑host Michael Freeze sits down with Ceramex North America experts JT Roberson and Matt Brady to unpack what fleets consistently get wrong about aftertreatment total cost of ownership. Discover the real difference between basic DPF cleaning and true restoration—and why those decisions matter for cost per mile, downtime, and emissions compliance.

A must‑listen for maintenance leaders focused on proactive, data‑driven maintenance. Tune in now.
