The main reason for implementing a GPS monitoring system is the fact that savings may be registered in the operational costs of companies.
Everything starts from a simple observation: when people are monitored, they change their behavior. They become more responsable with the vehicles the administer, they are more efficient, respect the work program, clandestine trips dissapear and the fuel does not "evaporate" so fast.
Savings brought by implementing SafeFleet X700 are at least 20% of the operational costs of your fleet.
US Department of Energy published a series of statistics about the relationships between company costs and the behavior of drivers in traffic.
- Higher speed increases fuel consumption and fuel bill.
consumption increases with 2% every 1.6 km above 80km/h
88 km/h ... 7% increase in fuel consumption
96 km/h ... 14% increase in fuel consumption
112 km/h ... 23% increase in fuel consumption
128 km/h ... 34% increase in fuel consumption
- Long time stand with the engine on increases consumption and affects the engine
60 minutes stand = 80-120 minutes of driving (in costs)
- No oversight, lots of overtime. Without surveillance, overtime and unjustified trips are made
inefficient routes
unprogrammed stops
unauthorized routes (shopping, fun etc)
... all these generate overtime and unjustified hours paid by companies!
* heat = tire enemy
* high speed = overheating and rapid deterioration of tires
* tire wearing doubles at speeds above 112 km/h
from 80 to 90 km/h, costs increase by 38%
from 80 to 112 km/h, costs increase by 80%
- The effects on maintenance costs: gearbox, direction, clutch, suspension etc
- Probability of accidents
breaking distance (considering the reaction time of the driver):
at 80 km/h ... 83.8 m (92% of a football court)
at 96 km/h ... 114.3 m (125% of a football court)
at 112 km/h ... 152.4 m (167% of a football court)
