The management of vehicle technical data, the hunt for lost kilometres and geolocation are the main reasons leading many companies to invest in New Information and Communication Technologies (NICT) and in particular, on-board computing. The result is an improvement in productivity, as well as the technical and energy performance of the vehicle fleet.
In quantitative terms, the potential for energy savings achievable with real-time fleet management solutions is between 3% and 13%. These rates vary depending on the composition of the fleet and the activity of the enterprise. Such solutions are also estimated to allow financial savings on maintenance costs (spare parts, lubricants and tyres) of between 3% and 7%.
| Fleet | Saving % | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Energy | Maintenance Costs | |||
| Mileage | Behaviour | Total | ||
| Light Vehicles | 10% | 3% | 13% | 7% |
| Heavy Goods Vehicles | 6% | 4% | 10% | 5% |
| Heavy Passenger Transport Vehicles | 0% | 3% | 3% | 3% |
The return on investment of this solution varies, depending on the composition of the fleet and the activity of the company (fuel consumption, annual mileage, etc.). The payback period for investments is between 6 and 36 months and in the majority of cases less than 12 months.
The project consists of encouraging companies to equip their fleets with the means of monitoring and management, making it possible to analyse in real time, the activity and performance of vehicles and the behaviour of drivers, in order to detect overconsumption, and to engage in corrective action to bring consumption back to its normal level.
