Operators receive a weekly fuel and utilisation report as part of the MultiSupport contract to enable them to track fuel efficiency.
Operators who choose not to take a Repair & Maintenance contract can order the system as an optional extra.
Using a web-based online portal customers can access trend analysis reporting, focused on a single driver or the entire fleet, as well as a safety view and real-time visibility of fleet assets.
DAF Telematics also caters for tachograph information, with the Microlise Remote Digital Tachograph Download module available to DAF Telematics customers.
According to DAF, one of the benefits of having vehicles equipped with the system is that the company is able to analyse economy and vehicle performance trends for a large number of vehicles.
‘What we can see is that Euro 6 DAF vehicles are consistently outperforming similar Euro 5 vehicles on fuel economy by between 2% and 7%,’ said Phil Moon, marketing manager at DAF Trucks Ltd.
‘Although there are obvious variables between one operation and another, our ability to consolidate the data for so many vehicles and compare those of similar configurations means we can get a good view on how well the latest vehicles are performing.’
