Masternaut Eco Drive

Driver performance, measurement and management

Connect eco-drive, the intelligent driver performance management tool provides businesses with the means to manage driver awareness programmes, improve fuel efficiency, drive down costs, report CO2 emissions and promote driver safety. Connect eco-drive is Masternaut’s next generation of telematics enabled driver performance management products; combining web delivered software, instant driver feedback via in-cab devices and our ecoScore™ methodology. We package all of this data into easy to understand graphics and tables through our 100% web-delivered software. This provides our customers with benchmarking, trending and exception reporting allowing the ranking branches, divisions, operational groupings and drivers.

Masternaut ecoScore™

This configurable calculation provides an effective method of benchmarking fleets regardless of vehicle type, operation and hours of use. Masternaut’s ecoScore™ allows businesses to configure reporting to precisely match their operation and to phase the thresholds of event measurement (from low, medium to high sensitivity) for maximum benefit. ecoScore™ allows our customers to configure points-based driver league tables allowing the benchmarking of driving performance regardless of vehicle type or operation.

Value proposition delivered across the business

The core solution focuses on fuel economy with a realistic benchmark of a 10% improvement. In some circumstances up to 20% improvement in economy has been seen. There is a direct relationship with driving style, accident frequency, driver safety and vehicle damage – if driver performance is improved the likelihood of accident decreases by half. In addition, benefits are also highlighted on emissions and CO2 for managing and reporting on  carbon reduction strategies.

Unique hardware and accurate data

Masternaut’s patent protected hardware reports true vehicle values for the ultimate in driver buy-in and transparency. Driver settings can be updated over the air which requires no vehicle downtime.
