Fleet Savings & Geotab

What if you could see exactly what driver behaviors affected your bottom line?

Did you know that behaviors such as hard acceleration, harsh braking, harsh cornering, speeding seatbelt usage and idling can affect your wallet?

Maybe a FREE downloadable report that can easily be dropped into your Geotab database would have these answers. The Fleet Savings Summary is a very valuable spreadsheet that will give business owners insight to the costs behind the vehicle. Driver behavior affects the bottom line, which affects your ROI (Return on Investment).

Idle time burns unnecessary fuel which makes your gas bill higher. Hard acceleration is not only a leading indicator of a future accident, but it also wears on your engines, and fuel costs. Harsh braking is rough on not only your brakes, but your tire, rotors and much more. Speeding, while also an indication of a possible future accident can also burn unnecessary fuel, as well as increase insurance costs, and cost you more in the event of an accident.

The Fleet Savings Summary takes all this data and calculates the potential savings if you coach your drivers on the events they are struggling with. For example, in the image above, vehicle 6 is having issues with hard acceleration, harsh braking, harsh cornering and speeding. Coaching the driver of vehicle 6 can save money on Safety, Fuel, Maintenance and Productivity. If all 5 of these drivers were coached on the behavior they have demonstrated, the total savings in these categories would be $420.46 for one month, or $5,045.54 for the year. For a larger fleet, that is quite a chunk of change!

Studies have shown that drivers with high counts of speeding events with a mixture of harsh acceleration, or lead foot are more likely to have an accident in the near future. With this in mind, coaching those drivers could potentially save you thousands of dollars.

This report is shown to both increase profitability, and minimize operating costs overall in fleets. For information on how you can download this report, check out the Geotab Marketplace and search for “Fleet savings”. This is one of many free reports available to Geotab customer.
