LEEDS, England, June 22, 2010 - Masternaut Three X is using its web-based vehicle tracking service to
track more than 100 million fleet miles each month resulting in major fuel
savings for customers. This amounts to GBP4 million each month and around
750,000 gallons of fuel. The Masternaut service reduces unnecessary fuel
consumption through more efficient, safer and eco-friendly driving, saving an
average of 10 per cent on fuel use.
"This is clear proof that vehicle tracking is an essential aid to
reducing unnecessary fuel use and costs. Through better route planning,
improving driving behaviour and removing waste the Masternaut service is
slashing the cost of transport for our customers by more than GBP4 million a
month. Few other technologies could claim to have such a positive impact. In
addition, the decrease in fleet carbon footprints is good for society in
general," says Martin Port, the company's MD.
Two years ago, Masternaut broke new ground with its GreenerFleet
environmental management tool for recording and monitoring CO2 emissions and
driving behaviour. This unique product is popular with fleet operators as it
provides both live and historical information showing vehicle and driver
activity. Its wide adoption has led to the company launching and running the
world's largest safe driving competition, which was won this year by United
Biscuits truck driver David Blake. Road safety charity Brake and IAM Drive &
Survive, the professional training division of the Institute of Advanced
Motorists, support the competition.
"We are pleased to be at the forefront of reducing fuel costs and helping
make our roads safer. Managing a fuel-efficient and safer fleet should not
cost operators the earth and Masternaut holds the key to all-round savings.
Our real-time technology helps manage speed, braking and idling. For
professional drivers it also helps to monitor that they are taking breaks and
conforming to the Working Time Directive," says Martin Port.
More 60,000 vehicles in the UK are fitted with Masternaut tracking units.
The company specialises in vehicle and asset tracking technologies that help
companies manage their assets more efficiently and reduce Carbon emissions.
One of its clients United Biscuits managed to cut out three million
unnecessary road miles using the system. Other famous clients include
Harrods, Nestle, Indesit, DHL, PHS, fellow entrepreneur Duncan Bannatyne and
Dragon's Den Winners Igloo Thermologistics.
