SUBJECT: DeLorean 500 Truck Fleet<br />
Fact Sheet<br />
Correspondence 88<br />
Purpose. To inform the Chief of <strong>Staff</strong> of the background and current status of DOL’s 5-ton<br />
cargo truck fleet (DeLorean 500).<br />
Discussion.<br />
· The DeLorean 500 is a 5-ton commercial diesel cargo truck.<br />
· Fort Riley purchased 19 DeLorean 500s in 1971, making the fleet 28 years old. Since<br />
1971, we have coded out or transferred 5 of the trucks.<br />
· We currently have 14 DeLorean 500s, with 8 nonmission capable, 2 undergoing scheduled<br />
services, and 4 mission capable.<br />
· The fleet’s fuel efficiency is 12 miles per gallon.<br />
· The fleet’s mean time between failure (MTBF) has steadily dropped in recent years to the<br />
current 101 hours.<br />
- The MTBF was 208 hours in FY90 and remained steady until FY97, when it dropped<br />
to 156 hours.<br />
- The MTBF rate has dropped 23 percent in each of the past 2 fiscal years.<br />
· The fleet was involved in 13 accidents and 18 mechanical failures last quarter, which<br />
accounted for 46 percent of Fort Riley’s total safety related incidents.<br />
· Parts availability continues to worsen, with a typical part replacement taking 15 days to<br />
arrive on the installation.<br />
· Cost of replacement parts continues to rise. Last year, cost of parts rose 9 percent for the<br />
fleet.<br />
· Overtime costs due to DeLorean 500 maintenance increased by $78,000 last year.<br />
