Shaw Tracking's Green Initiative

I am pleased to write this month’s article in light of the heightened drive towards environment-friendly initiatives and the mission of a “green” fleet. With the end of another Federal election, there has been much talk centering on green shift plans and carbon taxes. Coupled with an uncertain economy and the onslaught of regulations surrounding the transportation industry including the new emissions standard to take effect in 2010, it is not surprising that fuel efficiency has reached the top of many carriers’ priority list.

Shaw Tracking has been busy preparing for the launch of Fuel Manager, the latest addition to the Performance Monitoring (SensorTRACS) solution. Fuel Manager provides fleets with a robust set of key fuel performance measurables and querying capabilities, all presented within a comprehensive, user-friendly dashboard.

Fuel Manager provides numerous benefits to help become a green fleet:

Lower Fuel Consumption

o       View positive financial impact of driver and fleet performance

Increase Operational Efficiency

o       Identify critical performance issues quickly and focus teams efforts on improvement

Use Information the Way You Do Business

o       Easily compare drivers, vehicles, and groups that reflect your operation

o       Define your own performance targets, create adhoc groups

Improve Driver Management

o       Leverage information by identifying underperforming drivers to create or reinforce coaching efforts

Identify Potential Driver Safety and Maintenance Issues

o       Spot dangerous speeding behaviors

o       Learn about maintenance issues before they become a problem

The Green initiative makes good business and fuel efficiency has always been a long-term goal. Shaw Tracking is committed to ensure that all our existing and future products and services support our customers’ requirements.
