TomTom tech mops up fuel wastage
The introduction of fleet management technology is on track to help slash distribution costs by £90,000 for one cleaning group.
Zenith Hygiene Group installed TomTom’s tracking, navigation and EcoPlus devices to its fleet of 56 company cars and 63 trucks in June of this year.
Since improving vehicle routing and sharpening up how its mobile workers are deployed, the group has seen fuel economy has nearly double.
Michael Rayner [pictured], Zenith’s Operations Director, commented: “We are always striving to maximise business efficiencies but those delivered by TomTom’s system have been a revelation.
“Average vehicle mpg has soared from 26 to 43 in just four months and a reduction of fuel usage by up to 5,000 litres per month, resulting in significant savings in distribution costs.”
The group’s carbon footprint has also shrank from a daily burden of 33lbs to 24lbs. Instances of speeding, idling, and rash braking have been notably less frequent too.
“This is a significant boost to our green credentials,” Rayner added.
Giles Margerison, TomTom Business Solutions’ Director, UK & Ireland, concluded: “Zenith’s returns on investment, both financial and service level, highlight the considerable benefits to business that advanced fleet management technology can deliver.”
