Driver training tool extends reach to commercial vehicle fleets03 December 2014

21st Century Technology Solutions says its driver training tool, introduced for PSV (public service vehicle) operators, is now being used across other commercial vehicle fleets – and delivering fuel savings of up to 12%.

EcoManager measures driver performance against parameters such as braking, accelerating and harsh cornering.

An on-board computer measures fuel use and G-forces, and delivers management reports which highlight where drivers need further training.

To cross all language barriers, drivers have an on-board display that shows, through two sets of red, amber and green lights, how they are performing.

The first set shows the driver how they are doing in real time, while the second set gives them an average for the journey. Drivers are challenged to keep the lights 'in the green'.

The company says the system has delivered fuel savings of between 8-12% to users across Europe over the last five years.
