Have you ever wondered how you can manage and monitor all your drivers’ needs when they’re out on the road? Mack Truck’s very own Telematics System monitors driver and truck performance, with real-time analysis and top-line reporting. CMV Truck & Bus’ Mack experts have put together a number of benefits of the System that you can take advantage of, to keep you ahead of the game.
Keep track of fuel usage
With fuel prices always on the up, we understand Fleet Managers are under constant pressure to reduce their business’s operating costs. The biggest impact on fuel is how the employee is driving the vehicle. Mack Trucks’ Telematic System looks at specific driving style parameters and in turn alerts the operator if the vehicle being driven in an economical way, or if there is room for fuel-efficiency improvement.
Cut costs
On top of the cost reductions that result in improving fuel economy across the board, optimising routes also help to reduce the time drivers spend on the road and idle in traffic. Through the Mack Truck’s Telematic System, a manager will have accurate data on how individual drivers can develop their skills for the good of the bottom line.
Driver training development
Driving style has a considerable impact on safety, and the amount of wear and tear the truck is exposed to. Metrics such as anticipation and braking, time idling, speed adaptation, and engine and gear utilisation provide Managers with an overview of who their most efficient drivers are. This is done by providing a score from one to 100 on their key driver characteristics. Operators are then able to access the data and focus on the individual’s performance and how the journey can be improved through CMV Truck & Bus’ Driver Development program.
Planning for your next truck service
Mack’s Telematic System provides Managers with the vehicle’s current odometer readings and will advise the user when the truck is getting close to its next scheduled service. If the truck operates on a long-haul journey in another state or away from your base, you can locate your nearest CMV Truck & Bus dealership via the portal, to book your truck in for a service.
