Telematics for light vehicles could help you spot and manage driving behaviour that’s costing your business

7 in 10 businesses plan to invest in operational efficiency over the next 2 years. However, only 52% of light fleets currently have any form of GPS tracking or telematics installed.

Without GPS tracking or telematics it’s difficult to track and measure improvements being made – and even harder to make data-driven decisions like whether to increase or decrease fleet size.

An analysis of EROAD data showed that on average, 6.2% less fuel is used by drivers who consistently achieved 4 or 5 stars on EROAD’s Leaderboard in FY22. It also showed that having EROAD with Posted Speed on the screen in the vehicle led to an average 48% reduction in speeding frequency in light vehicles.

High speeds consume more fuel. Increasing speed from 90km/h to 105km/h can raise fuel consumption by as much as 15%. Add on harsh acceleration and hard braking – these behaviours can increase fuel consumption by as much as 40% – not to mention the increased emissions output.

In-cab telematics with a driver facing screen is a great coaching tool for drivers. It increases awareness of driving behaviour. Coupled with reporting, insights and driver leaderboard, EROAD provides you with the tools to encourage, reward and improve driving behaviour in your fleet.

As well as reducing your fuel bill and improving safety – you’ll also be reducing emissions – and have data to support it.
