PHH GreenFleet to Leverage Telematics Data

ARTICLE TOOLS        | E-MailPrint RSS

PHH Arval is bringing the power of telematics to its GreenFleet to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The PHH GreenFleet program has helped fleets reduce emissions by an average of 14 percent. The newest innovation of the program is to use data from PHH Onboard, PHH’s telematics-powered service, to help companies further drive down their emissions. Using data captured from the telematics device in each vehicle, PHH GreenFleet has the ability to:

- Monitor and impact driver behavior, such as speeding, idling and unauthorized use.

- Monitor engine performance to ensure the vehicle is operating efficiently.

Based on results achieved by PHH Arval clients who utilize the telematics-powered service, PHH Onboard has the potential to reduce fuel costs by up to 10 percent, idling time by up to 25 percent, and unauthorized use by up to 100 percent.

 

In addition to the environmental benefits of using less fuel, it also has a positive impact on operating costs.

2008: One of the Worst Years in Fleet History

By Mike Antich
I can’t recall a year as tumultuous as 2008. The year started with the Jan. 1 termination of the $1.8 billion merger between GE and PHH and ended with the near bankruptcy of GM and Chrysler. In between, we witnessed record fuel prices, then a spectacular freefall in fuel prices, a dismal used-vehicle market, unprecedented credit gridlock, the inability of some fleets to order new-vehicles, and fleet delivery disruptions due to a UAW strike and an epic Midwest flood that submerged rail lines.
