The Idling Report enables you to generate reports on the amount of idling (when the engine is on but the asset is stationary) within your fleet over a selected date range. Our idling report provides you with valuable insights into the amount of time your fleet is idling and the fuel consumed during these periods (when fuel data is accessible).
The Idling Report is valuable for many use cases, including:
- Report on unnecessary vehicle idling – see how often and for how long your drivers/operators are leaving your vehicles idling. This can be used to improve you driver/operator behaviour and reduce your operating expenses by eliminating unnecessary engine wear and fuel consumption.
- Report on idling time at customer sites – see how long your assets are left idling at customer sites. This can help you improve demurrage times and also identify opportunities to charge your customers for extended wait times.
- Report on idling time at your depots/terminals – see how long your assets are left idling inside your depot/terminals, to help improve cycle times and your operational efficiency.
