By Dean Richardson DriveLogik, a sister division to RiskLogik, is launching a new product today that offers truck and other large vehicle fleets a driver-focused fix that brings significant relief from high fuel costs with a 6%-10% reduction in fuel consumption, plus maintenance savings, increased vehicle longevity and a lower carbon footprint.
Fleet managers can estimate fuel savings with our online calculator at www.drivelogik.com. A long haul truck using DriveLogik and driving 180,000 kms/112,000 miles per year can save an average of $5,500 dollars a year. Expand that across a fleet of 50 trucks, and the savings are a dramatic $275,000 per year of cash-in-pocket results.
Now available in North America, DriveLogik combines hardware with a proven track record on more than 250,000 fleet vehicles in Europe, and TrackLogik software from RiskLogik. The dash-mounted DriveLogik Driver Assistance Panel (DAP) coaches each driver in real time, encouraging improved driving techniques. It gives each driver visual and audible notifications on critical performance indicators without being intrusive. Data analysis and reporting encourages drivers and fleet managers to work together on perfecting driving styles.
DriveLogik provides meaningful and actionable insights and statistics for the benefit of the business as a whole.
Substantial savings on fuel are of course extremely important, but DriveLogik also creates fleet-wide awareness of optimal driving habits – a “cascade of consequences” from using the product that also leads to longer-lasting trucks. DriveLogik is about a bigger fleet management success story, and as former fleet manager, that's what I find so exciting.
While the U.S. pressures the North American trucking industry with stricter fuel efficiency standards, DriveLogik offers fleets an immediate solution.
