A. Absolutely. In fact, telematics first proved its financial value for fleets when it was discovered that fleet managers could monitor vehicle idling—a significant way drivers were wasting fuel and money.
Additionally, telematics can be a crucial component in your preventive maintenance program—particularly in terms of alerting and scheduling needed service. Keeping up on recommended service will help minimize direct maintenance costs, which continue to rise, and, more importantly, help limit unproductive downtime of both the vehicle and the driver.
Since you’re monitoring driver behavior, you’re already using your telematics solution to help curb costs. Aggressive and risky driving behavior can cost the fleet directly in wasted fuel and excessive wear and tear on their vehicles. By working to minimize risk, you’re helping to avoid downtime and potential liability payments due to a collision.
