The Problem Starts Before the Vehicle Breaks : Preventive Maintenance | ExxcelênciaCast EP.10

A vehicle doesn't have to break down to become unsafe. Worn components, delayed inspections, neglected maintenance, and small mechanical problems can create risks long before a driver realizes something is wrong. In this episode of **ExxcelênciaCast**, Thiago Rodrigues talks with **Cristiano Poubel, CEO of Motor Plan**, about preventive maintenance, road safety, fleet management, and the mechanical failures companies and drivers should not ignore. 💥 IN THIS EPISODE: • Preventive maintenance beyond oil changes • Why inspections are postponed • How small failures become safety risks • Critical vehicle safety components • Preventive vs. corrective maintenance • Hidden costs of neglected maintenance • Maintenance for companies and small fleets • Automotive technology • Hybrid and electric vehicle maintenance • The shortage of qualified professionals 📌 **A running vehicle is not necessarily a safe vehicle. Prevention starts before failure becomes visible.** For companies with operational vehicles, field teams, or fleets, maintenance is also part of risk management and worker safety. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:48 Cristiano Poubel — 30+ years in automotive 02:32 Why preventive maintenance is postponed 06:01 The cost of poor maintenance 10:01 Worker safety and company responsibility 13:50 Common maintenance mistakes 19:32 Critical safety components 25:06 How often is maintenance needed? 33:04 The evolution of automotive technology 41:08 The shortage of skilled professionals 49:00 Starting a career in automotive 53:33 Final thoughts ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎙️ **ExxcelênciaCast — Safety That Creates Value** Host: Thiago Rodrigues Guest: Cristiano Poubel — CEO, Motor Plan Executive Producer: Milena Sousa ✨ Sponsored by: City Vespasiano | Ponto Veículo
