What
Green fleets are focused on reducing fuel consumption, mileage and exhaust emissions, and on driving more safely and efficiently. If your fleet is not managed effectively, you can generate not only unnecessary emissions, but also excess costs to negatively impact your bottom-line. FleetMind provides the tools to support leaner and greener fleets by improving fuel consumption, reducing overall mileage and monitoring driver behavior.
Details
Improved fuel consumption management
Fuel costs account for a major portion of the total fleet operating cost and will vary according to vehicle type, driving style and mileage, so managing your fuel consumption is a critical part of green fleet management. FleetMind can help reduce fuel consumption - and your carbon footprint - as follows:
- FleetMind’s onboard Driver Direction lets you optimize each truck’s routes to reduce time spent on the road and the number of engine hours per day.
- FleetMind lets you reduce the amount of fuel burned by the engine as it is being used by using alarms to monitor and reduce idling, identifying aggressive driving patterns through alarms , identifying vehicle maintenance problems, and collecting the ECM codes so that engines can be repaired before problems escalate.
Reduced overall mileage
FleetMind’s Driver Direction provides automatic driving directions to the driver, and will automatically re-calculate the route when a driver selects an out-of-sequence manual stop. This ensures that each route is optimized for time and distance, and reduced overall mileage.
Driver monitoring and education
Driver behavior is fundamental to fleet efficiency. Even the most fuel-efficient vehicles will perform poorly with an inefficient driver behind the wheel. Fleet managers need the tools to monitor driver behavior to influence and educate drivers on more emissions-friendly driving approaches. FleetMind provides Fleet Mapping and monitoring tools to allow fleet managers to work more proactively with drivers to ensure and reinforce better driving behavior.
