From Idea to Reality: Interview with the Team Behind the New Version of FlotasNet
The product team at FlotasNet has launched a new version of their fleet management platform, offering advanced solutions. In this interview, the team shares the challenges, technologies, and key improvements of the update, transforming fleet management towards a more efficient and connected future.
Fuel savings: the importance of tires
Fuel efficiency depends on the rolling resistance of tires. Low rolling resistance tires improve this efficiency. Maintaining the correct tire pressure is crucial. Assessing the vehicle’s needs and performing regular maintenance are essential. Choosing the right tires and considering the climate and road conditions saves fuel and reduces environmental impact.
Low emission zones in fleet management
Sustainability is a growing concern, focusing on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and seeking alternative energies. A crucial aspect is the transition to electric vehicles and the protection against pollutant emissions. The European Union has assigned its member countries the responsibility of creating low emission zones (LEZ) to improve urban air quality by restricting access to polluting vehicles.
Electric Fleets: Yes or No?
The adoption of electric fleets is a trend in the transport, logistics or distribution sector, mainly driven by the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote sustainability
TPMS – Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is a technology designed to monitor in real time the pressure and temperature of a vehicle’s tyres. These systems use sensors installed in each tyre that measure the pressure and temperature and transmit it to a receiver in the vehicle.
Route Optimisation for Efficient Transport
Operational efficiency is one of the objectives pursued by all companies, regardless of the sector in which they operate. For years, transport and distribution companies have been trying to improve their operations by constantly striving for more and better efficiency in distribution-related areas.
The Importance of Real-Time Fleet Monitoring
Data has become one of the most precious assets for businesses today. A large majority of companies are already implementing data governance systems, which allow them on the one hand to collect all the data generated in the activity, for its subsequent use and processing, and on the other hand, to strengthen the cybersecurity systems that are so necessary in today’s fully interconnected world.
Communication with Drivers as a Service Differential
Direct communication with our drivers is indispensable when we offer transport or distribution services. Communication covers several different levels in the supply chain process, from internal monitoring of fleet status, to more advanced intercommunication with the end customer or consignee to enable them to participate in the transport process.
Advantages of Telematics in Fleet Management
In a world where efficiency and precision are paramount in transportation fleet management, telematics emerges as the revolutionary tool completely transforming how companies monitor and optimize their operations and fleet usage.
Charging Stations for Electric Cars
Accessibility to charging stations is essential to drive the adoption of electric vehicles. Fortunately, the electric charging infrastructure, also known as electric car charging points, is constantly expanding and offers various options for charging electric cars.
Alternatives to the Electric Truck
Environmental sustainability is on the agenda of all world authorities, and climate change is a palpable reality.
Preventing Truck Theft with Telematics
Truck theft is a major problem for the transportation and logistics industry.
