You have decided that using GPS to track your trucks will be valuable for your business – now it is time to install GPS tracking devices to start monitoring fleet activity. It may be tempting to let your in-house mechanic set up your devices to try and pinch pennies, but what you may not realize is that […]
GPS Insight has developed a new dispatching capability for small and mid-sized fleets that sends routes to the driver’s smart device. Customers can now use GPS Insight to dispatch stops and/or routes via email or text message to each driver on a daily basis.
There are 2 advantages to this.
1. For those customers that want to forego the additional cost of Garmin integration, but need to efficiently dispatch drivers, they can still do so.
2. Drivers can now leverage audible turn-by-turn directions used by the mapping Apps on the smart devices (Apple or Google) and do not need to be logged in to another telematics app to be dispatched throughout the day.
Check out how it works: Dispatch Routes to Your Drivers’ Smart Devices!
Anyone who believes battery-electric or hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles don’t have a future greatly underestimates the bullheadedness of Californians. This special breed of American lives in a state wracked by drought, choked with traffic, and bisected by a fault zone. Yet Californians think there’s no better place to be.
For further proof of Californians’ obstinate nature, note that the small but growing market for zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) there has been 24 years in the making. After spinning its wheels in the GM EV1 era, the California Air Resources Board (CARB), which regulates state air quality, has finally found the traction to effect a major automotive and cultural shift with its ZEV mandate.
The question is, which one of these technologies (battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) or hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles (FCVs) will win in the long run?
Gasoline prices having dropped below $3 a gallon nationally, the future of automobile efficiency programs should be considered critically. For those of tender years, we have been here before: the price drop after 1986 saw the rise of minivans and SUVs, which meant that fuel efficiency for the fleet stabilized after a decade of declines.
Price is the best motivator of efficiency, and despite all the breast beating about advertising and consumer brainwashing, they essentially respond rationally: prices rise, people choose higher fuel efficiency, prices fall, people de-emphasize it.
This is not addiction, its economics.
