Telematics is the synergy between telecommunications and information technology to contact, track, and monitor remote assets such as fleet vehicles. Telematics software collects and sends data analytics remotely. To achieve this, sensors and connected telematics devices are installed in vehicles to collect and send data. This vehicle telematics data typically includes information about where the vehicle is, how fast it is going, how fast it is accelerating, how fast it is stopping, how well the engine is working, how much fuel it uses, and other important parameters. The data received is sent to a central system or computer, where it is processed and examined.

Auto Onibus Moratense

Auto Onibus Moratense wanted to become more environmentally-friendly so they partnered with MiX Telematics to reduce their fuel consumption and train their employees on eco-driving.

Auto Onibus Moratense services 23 municipal bus lines and 2 metropolitan lines so they are aware of how large their carbon footprint can be. MiX Fleet Manager, a sophisticated on-board telematics solution, was installed in all 111 of Auto Onibus Moratense’s buses. Each driver’s individual fuel consumption was monitored as well as any driver behavior (such as speeding) that tends to increase usage. Then drivers were ranked from best to worst based on this data.

"Thanks to MiX Telematics’ solutions we have managed to create a harmonious workplace, where all of the sectors work as one team. It has created an environment where everyone is working towards a common goal and, this way, we always achieve the results we need."
Celso Ricardo, Human Resources Manager, Auto Onibus Moratense

Data collected from MiX Fleet Manager was put to full use by holding regular meetings to update drivers on their performance and then giving them relevant training. This training taught drivers how the MiX Fleet Manager solution works, why their role is so important to the fleet’s success (encouraging engagement) and how to become a more economical and safer driver. Within less than a year, all of these actions have led to a 10 to 15% reduction in overall fuel consumption and it continues to drop.
