Reports are generated via a simple-to-use web interface

Organization and technology interventions to improve Safe and Eco driving 16 The indicator shows the average usage (fuel consumption) achieved during a given period of time. The engine fuel economy less idling and PTO fuel Measured in kilometres / litre or miles / gallon Fuel Economy indicator is depending on the type of vehicle and drivers behaviours. - 14% FUEL ECONOMY L/100KM - fuel consumption per vehicle or driver May ’08 VALUE 19,7l - 24,8l per 100 KM (average 21,8l) AUG ’08 VALUE 17,8l - 19,35l per 100 KM (average 18,8l) TARGET VALUE* 20l /100km – city routes 18l /100km – mixed routes (city + country roads) (*based on Iveco Eurocargo ML100 E17/18 trucks)

Organization and technology interventions to improve Safe and Eco driving 17 This indicator shows the percentage of time when the vehicle is stopped (over 4 minutes) with the engine running. This leads to fuel wastage. - 61% IDLE TIME (%) – Stop with running engine May ’08 VALUE 5.4% AUG ’08 VALUE 2.1% TARGET VALUE <1.5%

Organization and technology interventions to improve Safe and Eco driving 18 Sweet Spot Optimum revolution band - is between 1100 – If the driver hits this during each driving motion fuel efficiency will rise. +125% SWEET SPOT DISTANCE (%) – optimum band of RPM (green band) May ’08 VALUE 31,6%-45% (average 39,1%) AUG ’08 VALUE 86%-91% (average 87,9%) TARGET VALUE over 90%

Organization and technology interventions to improve Safe and Eco driving 19 Over Rev is essentially where the vehicle is revved outside of the Optimum Band. This puts more strain on the engine, thus consuming more fuel -12% OVER REV (%) – Driving a vehicle when exceeded the recommended RPM May ’08 VALUE average 13,3% AUG ’08 VALUE average 1,3% TARGET VALUE <1%

Organization and technology interventions to improve Safe and Eco driving 20 The indicator shows the percentage of distance travelled on the vehicle’ top gear. By using the top gear as much as possible means that the engine is utilizing the lowest possible rev band and is at its most efficient. +17,9% TOP GEAR (%) May ’08 VALUE 4%-32% (average 22%) AUG ’08 VALUE 29%-60% (average 39,9%) TARGET VALUE over 60%

This is where the driver has had to break so hard that the Seat Belt locks. - 30% HARSH BREAKING (COUNT) May ’08 VALUE 1-9 per week average = 5 AUG ’08 VALUE 3-4 per month average = 3.5 TARGET VALUE 1 per month

Organization and technology interventions to improve Safe and Eco driving 23 Service Break is the foot break. This should be positive ratio between this and the Engine Break - 0.5% SERVICE BREAK (%) May ’08 VALUE 14-18% (average 15,2%) AUG ’08 VALUE 12,7-18% (average 14,7%) TARGET VALUE <15%

Organization and technology interventions to improve Safe and Eco driving 24 Engine brake is a device that can convert a diesel engine into an air compressor, a power absorbing device. These devices are used in trucking applications to provide a means for retarding the vehicle, supplementing the normal vehicle braking system. The retarding operation is under full control of the vehicle operator and can be used simultaneously with the normal service brakes. Engine breaking is important as it uses less fuel, and is a more balanced and controlled way to bring the vehicle to a halt or lower speed % ENGINE BRAKE (%) May ’08 VALUE average 0.15% AUG ’08 VALUE average 3.54% TARGET VALUE >5%

Organization and technology interventions to improve Safe and Eco driving 25 The indicator shows the percentage of distance travelled exceeding the maximum allowed speed. In tested trucks (with accordance to EU requirements) speed has been limited at level of 90km / h. It means driver can not drives faster than 90km/h The aim is to implement maps with a specific max speed marked on it, to increase control of a driver over speeding inside the urban areas. 0 OVER SPEEDING (%) May ’08 VALUE Urban speed under development AUG ’08 VALUE Urban speed under development TARGET VALUE ZERO over speeding

Organization and technology interventions to improve Safe and Eco driving 26 This stat should be close ZERO. This is where a vehicle is moving not in a gear and is unsafe. -0.8% OUT OF GEAR COASTING (%) May ’08 VALUE average 7,7 % AUG ’08 VALUE average 6,9% TARGET VALUE <3%
