Solution	FirstGroup implemented GreenRoad across its fleet of 9,000 buses in the UK and Ireland to deliver real-time driver feedback and targeted optimization insights. GreenRoad continuously measures maneuvers that most impact safe driving, fuel efficiency and emissions, and gives drivers instant feedback in order to correct themselves in real time. On returning from routes, drivers and depot managers can view online the overall quality of their driving. A score is allocated to each driving session, giving drivers the opportunity to improve their driving and help play their part in tackling environmental issues. Fleet tracking information is also monitored and analyzed to optimize fleet operations. Read More Log in to view content

Data Collected

Carbon Dioxide Emissions, Driver Performance Scores, Fuel Consumption, Passenger service, Vehicle Location Tracking

Impact #1	[Cost Reduction - Energy] As a result of FirstGroup's drivers driving with greater attention, they are using less fuel and lowering emissions, to the point where FirstGroup believes it is possible to hit its three-year target of reducing emissions.
Impact #2	[Efficiency Improvement - Operation] By enabling better decisions, GreenRoad not only improved fuel consumption, operational efficiency, and vehicle wear-and-tear but also helped to improve passenger satisfaction and lower insurance costs.
