As the economy continues to struggle through the end of the recession, many companies are looking for methods to reduce their outgoings. All aspects of a business will be looked at with a view to creating savings, but an often overlooked area is the fleet of vehicles deployed. They are seen as an irreplaceable component of a firm’s operations, so how can reduced costs be achieved? Simple – by utilising the fuel saving enabled by EcoManager’s fleet management technology.
EcoManager is a revolutionary new vehicle diagnostics system that drives savings and increases the efficiency of a company’s transport operations. It is proven to save up to 12% on your fuel costs, while enabling significant reductions in Carbon Dioxide emissions. In conjunction with this, the road safety record of a fleet of vehicles is improved thanks to a reduction in accidents as drivers adopt a more conservative driving style.
EcoManager uses industry-leading technology to ensure fuel saving within a fleet of vehicles. They measure G-forces, speed, braking and excessive vehicle movements and then transmit this data in real-time to the driver, displayed on an LED screen in front of them. This will highlight areas for improvement and the subsequent moderation of driving style as a result, particularly in minimising heavy braking and harsh acceleration, will enable firms to significantly reduce their fuel costs by up to 12%.
The LED display provides instant feedback to a driver on their style of motoring, which is displayed in an easy to understand ‘traffic light’ system. Green emphasises an efficient driving style with improved passenger safety along with a reduction in maintenance costs. Amber meanwhile represents an average driving style where improvements could be made to reduce costs and improve safety, while Red indicates a driving style that may require further investigation and additional training to achieve those all-important fuel saving opportunities.
