Tracking system company Masternaut Three X is using its web-based service to track more than 100 million vehicle fleet miles each month to bring major fuel savings for customers. This amounts to £4m a month and around 750,000 gallons of fuel.
Masternaut says its tracking service reduces unnecessary fuel consumption through more efficient, safer and eco-friendly driving, saving an average of ten per cent on fuel use.
"This is clear proof that vehicle tracking is an essential aid to reducing unnecessary fuel use and costs," says MD Martin Port. "Through better route planning, improving driving behaviour and removing waste the Masternaut service is slashing the cost of transport for our customers. Few other technologies could claim to have such a positive impact. In addition, the decrease in fleet carbon footprints is good for society in general."
This tracking system is proving popular with fleet operators as it provides both live and historical information showing vehicle and driver activity.
"Managing a fuel-efficient and safer fleet should not cost operators the earth and Masternaut holds the key to all-round savings," adds Port. "Our real-time technology helps manage speed, braking and idling. And for professional drivers it also helps to monitor that they are taking breaks and conforming to the Working Time Directive."
