The collection and analysis of driving data are essential levers for reducing CO2 emissions and optimizing costs in corporate vehicle fleets. Today, the majority of company vehicles are equipped with communicating boxes capable of collecting a multitude of information on the condition of the vehicle and its use in real time.
Varied data for intelligent fleet management
Daily mileage, duration and distance travelled, frequency of stops, frequency of stops, traffic conditions, traffic conditions, types of roads taken, load carried, weather conditions... This data, once collected and aggregated, provides accurate diagnoses, detailed reports and performance indicators accessible to fleet managers via dedicated web platforms.
Telematics specialists such as Masternaut, Ocean, Mapping Control or Optimum Automotive play a key role in this fleet management ecosystem, by exploiting big data to transform this information into optimization levers.
Telematics: an effective lever for reducing the carbon footprint
According to Daniel Vassallucci, CEO of Optimum Automotive, “data collection and analysis are essential not only to optimize costs, but also to reduce CO2 emissions and promote new forms of mobility.” A survey conducted among Optimum customers estimates the reduction in CO2 emissions at more than 1.2 kilograms per vehicle per year through the use of their tools.
Driver behavior remains the main driver for improving the carbon balance of a fleet. In fact, unsuitable driving can lead to an increase in consumption of up to 30%. Data relating to conditions of use (cornering, braking, acceleration, triggering of driving aids) are analyzed in real time in order to identify overconsuming “bad riders”.
Fun eco-driving: a positive approach
Rather than implementing punitive surveillance like “Big Brother”, Optimum and its competitors favor eco-driving tools. fun and engaging to encourage drivers to adopt better practices, thus improving safety and consumption.
Beyond eco-prevention: towards the global decarbonization of fleets
Embedded telematics players go further than eco-prevention by offering global support for the decarbonization of corporate fleets. “Data processing allows us to better “consume” travel and to inform our customers' mobility strategy,” explains Daniel Vassallucci.
With its new entity Optimum Consulting, the telematics specialist supports businesses in:
- The choice of their vehicles via the definition of their Car Policy,
- The development of their Corporate Travel Plan (PDE),
- Fleet electrification advice, by selecting suitable hybrid or electric models,
- The optimization of charging infrastructures (IRVE) to be preferred,
- The implementation of solutions for carpooling and Carsharing integrated into the platform.
In Haute-Savoie, for example, 1200 shared vehicles are currently managed by Optimum, illustrating their role well beyond that of simple installers of telematic boxes.
Embedded telematics is asserting itself as a strategic tool for reducing CO2 emissions and controlling costs in corporate fleets. By combining real-time data collection, behavioral analysis, support for the energy transition and collaborative solutions, specialists like Optimum Automotive contribute to the sustainable transformation of professional mobility.
