Navman Wireless has recently launched its Fuel Usage and CO2 Emissions Reporting Suite, which can be used in conjunction with the company’s GPS Fleet Management Solution.
The software is designed for businesses with a fleet of vehicles and allows for fuel usage and CO2 emissions of each vehicle to be monitored.
The suite's timely release follows the recently introduced Carbon Tax; a national reform policy that requires businesses to better manage their energy usage and carbon emission production to reduce costs.
The software displays detailed fuel consumption and carbon emissions information through the OnlineAVL2 program, and it allows users to select the frequency of reports and the vehicles they would like included, as well as being able to specify the average cost per unit of fuel for the selected reporting period.
Managers also have the ability to sort reports by vehicle group and individual vehicles.
Any business with a fleet of vehicles is concerned about the introduction of the carbon tax,” said Ian Daniel, Navman Wireless' vice president – Asia Pacific.
“Australian businesses are looking for new ways to minimise their fuel costs and eventually the costs associated with the carbon tax. The good news is we have an affordable yet effective solution to help companies proactively reduce their fuel usage and CO2 emissions and considerably improve their operational efficiency,” he said.
The OnlineAVL2 reporting suite also helps organisations identify patterns to improve driving behaviour, and fuel usage to eventually help reduce their environmental impact.
This allows businesses to identify those vehicles or drivers that are unnecessarily burning fuel by idling or speeding, and they may then work proactively with those drivers to rectify the situation.
“From vehicle utilisation and control of fuel costs through to driver behaviour, organisations are poised to make better-informed decisions, leading to reduced CO2 emissions, improved fuel and maintenance costs, and increased customer satisfaction,” said Daniel.
