Local Commercial Vehicles Burning

Top 3 reasons commercial vehicles catch fire and burn:

1. Not well maintained. Frequent servicing of cars are very vital for commercial vehicles that are used back-to-back on a daily basis.
2. Wrong fuel type or improper fueling such as over-fueling
3. Over speeding with an overloaded poorly-maintained vehicle. Overloading the vehicles causing their exhaust pipe to drag on the concrete road coupled with unsolved electrical issues can cause fire to erupt.
