Performance analysis with driver performance evaluation More power for your controlling. Reduce fuel consumption, increase motivation. Clear reduction in fuel consumption Less wear and tear due to proactive driving Motivated drivers Basis for incentive systems We have been able to reduce fuel costs by 5-10%. (Wimmer Transportdienst GmbH) The FleetBoard Performance Analysis grades the driving style and analyses the recorded data for the entire fleet. Since relevant factors such as total distance, over-reving, braking behaviour, stops and average consumption are included in the evaluation this service represents the optimal basis for a fair driver incentive system. Fair also because a reliable driver-specific evaluation is possible by using the FleetBoard DriverCard or DTCO ID. Using objective data, a fuel-saving driving style that reduces wear and tear can be developed together with the driver. Practice shows that it is feasible to cut consumption by 2-5 % in a relatively short time. Engine Operation M/n diagram Braking or retarder performance diagram trip(s) summary, detail view or period breakdown What percent of the time were exhaust retarders or brakes applied?
