FLEET MANAGEMENT TRENDS IN 2020

Fleet maintenance has shifted over the last decade from filling out paper forms to advanced applications. There are many great solutions available in 2020 that make fleet maintenance work much easier.

Many fleet managers can't even imagine that they would not have data available, such as:

• What kind of wear and tear on vehicles and equipment causes aggressive driving?
  
• Do my drivers use the most optimal routes?
• What factors led to the car accident?
• How can I optimize my fuel economy?
• How much tire wear affects fuel consumption?
• How to improve the safety of my drivers?

Fortunately, this year the market offers a lot of top-notch, yet simple solutions. The latest products both enhance communication between drivers and fleet managers and allow sufficient control.

Here are some of good solutions:

geotab

Geotab provides fleet managers with access to important fleet information such as:

• driving information (acceleration, braking,…)
  
• details of traffic accidents
  
• precise information on vehicle movements
  
• high accuracy of location data using GNSS
  
• monitoring of emissions, driving time and vehicle standstill
  
• show battery status for electric vehicles and much more
  

ELITE EXTRA

Elite EXTRA enables the allocation, management and optimization of routes and communication between the fleet manager and the driver. It is a solution that includes e-signing of orders, scanning barcodes and advanced reporting. The solution can be integrated with a Geotab device, which can directly communicate with the data.

mobileye

Mobileye is a passive safety system to prevent or mitigate traffic accidents. It recognizes a situation that could lead to an accident and alerts the driver in a timely manner. The system alerts drivers before leaving the lane, about safety distance, the possibility of colliding with a vehicle, pedestrian, cyclist or motorcycle driver, reads traffic signs and automatically lights up and switches off the high beam. This solution can also be easily integrated with the Geotab device.

UPTAKE ASSET IO

Diagnostic tools such as the Uptake Asset IO, which is based on more than 140 machine learning models, predict the most optimal vehicle maintenance scenarios. It connects the data that Geotab draws from different sensors and sends them to the Asset IO system.

The latest technologies allow us to have a paperless and efficient fleet maintenance. Fleet managers can thus always have important information at their disposal, which is crucial to cost optimization.
