Hello

I have

Mtrlåtgång AU/FU

where AU stands for avhjälpande underhåll and FU = Förebyggande underhåll

I can find a few hits for Mtrl with Google but still can't work out what it stands for

Thanks

agree  Adrian MM.: assuming material doesn't refer - in this context - to rolling (rail) stock or plant & equipment https://context.reverso.net/translation/swedish-english/mate... // material consumption might well be ambiguous for signifcant consumption.
