Lysanda works with TNT to promote efficient driving
Lysanda, the vehicle management software provider, today announced an agreement with TNT N.V., the world-leading provider of express delivery services, to support its 2009 “Drive Me Challenge”.
The Drive Me Challenge is a driving competition for company drivers worldwide in an effort to: increase the fuel efficiency of their driving; reduce blameworthy road traffic accidents, and increase service levels to customers.
TNT employs and subcontracts more than 10,000 drivers around the world. The Drive Me Challenge engages and rewards drivers through national and global driving competitions. TNT’s best national drivers are paired with senior managers or members of the Board of Management to participate in the Global Challenge – ultimately to win the coveted annual title of ‘TNT’s best driver.’
On September 30, 16 TNT drivers, selected as the best local drivers through national pre-rounds, will contest the final in the United Kingdom. At this event, Lysanda’s Eco-Log product will measure fuel performance and CO2 emissions.
Eco-Log helps reduce vehicle fleet running costs by providing highly accurate data on fuel consumption and wastage. Savings are made by improving driving behaviour using the in-vehicle driver aid and management reporting tools. When plugged into the vehicle On-Board Diagnostics computer using an industry standard cable, Eco-Log accurately calculates the energy used and emissions produced. This data is processed to provide vehicle trip performance information for:
- Real-time feedback to driver on in-vehicle display;
- End of trip/period review by the fleet manager; and
- Periodic management reports.
For customers, the Return on Investement (ROI) is expected to be less than one year.
Lysanda Chief Executive Alex Willard said:
“Lysanda is delighted to be partnering with TNT on the 2009 “Drive Me Challenge”. Drive Me is all about promoting safe, efficient driving and so reducing fuel wastage and CO2 emissions. Eco-Log aims to help this too. “Fleet efficiency is fundamental to company profitability. Fuel costs are typically 20%-25% of fleet running costs and fuel wastage also suggests higher maintenance costs. Volatile oil prices have put additional focus on fuel efficiency and costs, which have direct impact on profit. Using vehicle engine data, Eco-Log takes fleet management to a new level of sophistication with significant fuel savings.”
