The FleetBoard telematics system enables companies to remotely track vehicle movements, while providing data such as speed and distance travelled, as well as weight recordings, fuel consumption and even the actual fuel level of a truck.
Most significantly, FleetBoard provides customers with a full performance analysis of a fleet, its vehicles and its drivers by capturing data such as pedal movement, idle fuel consumption, engine brake usage and behavior of driver gear change operation, which is crucial information to determine areas of development in order to increase operative efficiency, reduce costs and further extend maintenance intervals.
