Vnomics Corp. has added new capabilities to its True Fuel on-board fuel efficiency optimization solution: a new mobile app and ROI calculator that the company says are geared toward fairly incentivizing and rewarding drivers.
“True Fuel has always provided a driver-respectful way to measure the driver’s impact on fuel economy, apart from their truck, load or route, ” said Alan Farnsworth, chief executive officer of Vnomics. “With the addition of a mobile app and enhanced ROI calculator, our True Fuel fuel optimization solution engages drivers directly by showing them how well they are doing with respect to fuel efficiency goals. By automating the availability of the information to the driver and providing suggestions for improvements, drivers are empowered to work towards a fleet goal, with minimum effort on the part of fleets.”
According to the company, the information available in the app includes:
- Driver month to date efficiency compared to the fleet target;
- The current month performance
- A detailed trip log, including location, time and fuel burned information;
- An efficiency score; and
- Suggestions for improvement based on each driver’s individual progress.
The ROI calculator, meanwhile, includes a gain share formula that can be used to tailor the program for their particular needs, including using various performance parameters. In the mobile app, drivers can view that information and see how their efficiency compares to fleet targets so they know when they are on track for financial awards and other incentives, and what they need to do improve their performance, the company noted.
