Our customers not only make money by "greening the fleet" they are also leaders in their industry.

How FleetPoint Can Help

Break the habit

Reducing idling by 10% increases efficiency up to 5 miles per gallon; With FleetPoint's idling reports and real-time alerts, fleet managers and drivers have the tools they need to monitor driving habits and target areas for improved efficiency.

Most fleets achieve a greater than 55% reduction in idling within 6 weeks!

Cleaner, cheaper, safer

Staying at or within the speed limit reduces CO2 emissions and saves money on fuel. At 70mph a commercial van uses up to 12% more fuel than at 60mph and up to 15% more fuel than at 50mph.

FleetPoint will let you know exactly when and where speed violations occur - before the authorities do!

Keep your fleet in shape

Well tuned vehicles produce up to 15% less emissions. FleetPoint will automatically alert you of any fault codes without having to bring the vehicle into the service bay. Fuel usage monitoring will show if a specific vehicle is consuming more fuel than usual.

Minimize Mileage and Emissions

Routing vehicles more efficiently with FleetPoint can save up thousands of miles per year. 250 miles saved per month (typical of a service vehicle) results in an average reduction of 266kg of CO2 per truck. Interactive route management, which takes into account traffic data and vehicle start location effectively increases efficiency by 6 mpg (2.5km per liter). The same service vehicle will save $1,500 per year and reduce it’s carbon dioxide footprint by over 4 tons!

What Regulations Apply?

As municipalties lead the federal initiatives on idling and other laws, there are a maze of regulations that must be followed. Many fleet managers consider environmental regulations to be a nuisance that does not contribute to their mission. Unfortunately, ignoring these regulations can create more than a nuisance -- they can create fines, penalties, and even jail time. Whether you think they're a nuisance or not, one thing is for sure -- there's no shortage of them and they're always changing. The ability of the FleetPoint system to alert the driver to local regulations based on GPS position provides tremendous peace of mind for all drivers.
