cania Fleet Management helps oper-
ators keep costs firmly in check. The
service includes a data logging unit
on-board the vehicle and communication
with the office. The operator gets a com-
prehensive overview of how the fleet is run-
ning, which in turn contributes to lower fuel
costs and helps motivate drivers. Operators
will be able to spot potential problems early
and be able to coach drivers into adopting
more economical driving habits and im-
prove service planning.
Rising fuel prices, increased environmental
awareness and tougher demands on driver
skills make it necessary for transport op-
erators to have access to more information
in order to optimise operations and boost
profitability. Scania‘s customer commitment
therefore goes one step further.
This service allows the operator to interpret
and analyse vehicle and driver data in a
transparent way. Since it is equally useful on
a mixed fleet of vehicles, this will help any
operator to keep down costs, increase reve-
nues and facilitate environmentally adapted
driving.
The service provides a clear and simple
overview of the fuel consumption and per-
formance of individual vehicles, as well as
tracking and information on how each vehi-
cle has been driven – information that can
be used to help improve profitability and
reduce environmental impact. Included in
the service is a logging and communication
unit on board the vehicle (Scania Communi-
cator) which is fitted as standard on every
Scania vehicle sold. The Scania Communi-
cator can be regarded as the nerve centre
of the system which is there to transmit data
concerning the complete performance level
of the vehicle through either, the Monitoring
Package and the Control package.
With the Monitoring Package which is free of
charge, customers receive reports that get
