Excessive Idling
The cost of excessive idling
Have you calculated the cost of an idling vehicle?
We have.
Idling causes double the amount of wear on your vehicle as driving does: independent tests by vehicle manufacturers have shown that one hour of idling is equal to 80 to 120 minutes of driving.
Prevent excessive idling
Preclude unnecessary idling during unproductive periods and save on fuel with GPS Tracking Solutions’ help.
Determine the acceptable idling time limit for each vehicle and enter that value into our online system. The power take-off unit will cut off the engine after the maximum idling time is reached. To ensure that the behaviour of your drivers improved over time, an SMS is sent to the driver informing him or her that you are aware of the transgression and are monitoring the situation.
Simultaneously, an email will also be sent to you informing you of the transgression. As the idling time limit is loaded to your profile, you can quickly and easily change it within seconds without you being anywhere near the vehicle.
