Nottingham bus operator picks up efficiency with MiX

Telematics
Bus operator Nottingham City Transport has kitted out its 300-plus fleet with Fleet Manager, from MiX Telematics, in a bid to boost fleet efficiency and passenger safety.

The operator selected the optional RIBAS in-cab display, which uses green, amber and red lights to provide the driver with feedback on driving style, along with MyMiX, an online portal where drivers can monitor their performance and compare it to that of their colleagues.

“MiX provided the required features of both driver and vehicle performance monitoring, delivered by a team that is committed to work with us as long-term partners,” says Gary Mason, engineering director for Nottingham City Transport.

“The reporting system for driver performance is both comprehensive and easy to use, while the MyMix portal provides an excellent platform that enables the drivers to monitor themselves. The system is being used to improve driving style to give a smoother journey and an enhanced customer experience, whilst reducing claims and improving fuel consumption.”

Mason says the company is already seeing improved fuel economy and is confident its longer term objectives will be met.
