FLEETDRIVE is still in the works , this could be our reality in the years to come .
Augmented Reality
Augmented reality brings so much to the table when it comes to improving safety and efficiency . AR applications are evolving rapidly , and fleets are poised to benefit from these advancements .
AR provides opportunities for easier vehicle maintenance and repair . As the technology further matures and with the help of tools like wearable tech and more powerful smart devices , maintenance staff will soon be able to know everything about a vehicle and its parts which can fast-track repair operations .
AR also plays a crucial role in driver training and assistance . Through AR , fleet operators can train drivers in simulated environments which equips them with the right skills and knowledge that they can take on the road . Meanwhile , in-vehicle AR tools provide drivers with information that they need to become safer and more efficient .
AI Dash Cams
AI dash cams are some of the most useful tools for monitoring driver behaviour and minimizing road accidents .
Powered by artificial intelligence , modern dash cams do more than just capture video and images . They provide insightful and actional data that not only improve driver safety but also aid in mitigating risks .
The smart technology that AI dash cams use recognises distracted driving and can alert drivers to focus their attention to the road . These tools also help monitor road conditions which can reduce untoward incidents and optimise routes especially in inclement weather or when there are obstacles and risks along the way .
AI dash cams can also provide video footage in the event of road accidents . This can be used as evidence in a claim and identify who ’ s at fault and potentially reducing an organisation ’ s financial liability .
Blockchain
Blockchain isn ’ t just about cryptocurrency . This next-level record keeping technology based on a decentralized ledger allows for improved transparency and accountability in the arena of fleet management .
In the near future , fleet operators can use blockchain to develop automated payment systems and develop an unalterable record of a wide range of information including vehicle service , driver history , and more .
The experts in sustainable online remarketing solutions
– It just makes good business sense .
What are the benefits of upstream selling ?
● Faster turn-a-round of asset funds – Vehicle auctioned / sold prior to grounding .
● Reduces de-fleeting holding cost by an average of 25 days .
● Lower cost to market – buyer pays the freight .
● Environmentally it reduces carbon emissions .
● No Trucking – No Downtime – No Stress !
● National Remarketing Coverage
Why is upstream selling growing in popularity ?
Upstream Selling is the transferring of the remarketing processes to before de-fleeting , not after de-fleeting . Auction costs and vehicle logistics costs have increased by more than 80 % in the last 10 years . Logistics costs are avoided by not moving vehicles to an auction location .
Why upstream selling is a greener process ?
A study conducted by ‘ Impact Sustainability ’ outlined the environmental benefits of eliminating unnecessary transport of vehicles to auction sites around Australia . Each vehicle on average would be transported 141 kms less by not transporting the vehicle to an auction location . That is a massive reduction in our carbon emissions , saving the environment 92.08 CO2-e ( tonnes ) per 1000 vehicles .
Net Carbon NEUTRAL
Per 1000 vehicles , there is a saving 92.08 CO2-e ( tonnes )
