Our GPS Tracking system will allow you to:
- Monitor daily Idle time
- Monitor speeds – Excessive speed burns fuel
- Ensure drivers are taking direct routes
- Monitor drivers start and finish time
- Monitor drivers time on site vs time driving
- Monitor vehicle costs and fuel usage
- Optional extra: Monitor vehicle On Board Diagnostic (OBD) to give you true MPG, Harsh Braking, Harsh Acceleration using our new built in Can-bus reader.
- Monitor CO2 emmisions
In addition one hour idling per day over one year is equivalent to 64,000 miles in engine wear when adding up all the contributing factors.
A recent study shows that a vehicle using Motorway routes that don't exceed 70mph will benefit from an extra 7mpg.
These figures are based on studies that show on average a vehicle burns one gallon of fuel for every one hour idle.
