Green and Efficient Fleet Management

By Nicole Spector
Contributing Writer

Any company trafficking in physical product delivery in this day and age must cope with a set of complex issues regarding the management of its trucking and delivery fleet. As a result, it is vital to devise management solutions that focus specifically on the behavior of a large fleet.


MiX Telematics, a global provider of fleet management solutions including vehicle tracking, driver safety, and more, is an industry leader in fleet-management innovations that improve everything from driver safety to GPS routes. But the company isn't deaf to environmental concerns. The road transport industry alone is responsible for 18 percent of global CO2 emissions, and MiX Telematics is intent on helping companies reduce their carbon footprint with its Carbon Offset Initiative.  

 MiX Telematics' heritage dates back to 1985 and the company has offices in Africa, Europe, in addition to its Australian headquarters. The company has illustrated the benefits of improved fleet management, with presence in 112 countries. Not only could customers be more satisfied and employees more efficient in their approach to work, but actual costs will drop: studies have shown that benefits of state-of-the-art fleet management include an average savings of 10 percent on fuel costs. Secondary benefits of MiX's patented fleet-management system include improved driver safety, better vehicle condition over time, and better delivery area coverage.

Eco-friendly options are often more expensive than the alternative (just think of the cleaning product aisle at Costco, for instance), but MiX Telematics raises an interesting counter-fact. A report on green telematics from Frost & Sullivan (News - Alert) in May 2009 indicated that operating costs and environmental impact can be decreased by almost two-thirds with these fleet-management solutions.
