"Previously telematics hasn't been a big issue for us," says operations director Steven Davies. The firm has now installed Volvo Trucks Dynafleet telematics system to its fleet, including two non-Volvos.
The most significant benefit identified by Davies is the potential for fuel cost savings: "We reckon that the information we get from Dynafleet will enable us to improve our long-term fuel efficiency by 3-5% without any formal driver training. At that rate, the system will have paid for itself within two years."
Davies also appreciates Dynafleet's communications and tracking features: "You can track the fleet from any computer. Furthermore, because it is linked to digital tachographs you get a very accurate picture of drivers' hours. We pride ourselves on 100% legal running."
