Regulatory News:
Optimising and reducing a vehicle’s total cost of ownership
(TCO) is a critical challenge for all fleet managers. In
collaboration with its partner Orange Business Services, PSA
Peugeot Citroën (Paris:UG) will launch a fleet management solution
in April covering the entire Peugeot and Citroën line-up.
This manufacturer-guaranteed solution is based on the use of an
autonomous telematics box (ATB) connected to a vehicle’s controller
area network (CAN) bus, allowing for automatic reports of precise,
reliable data from the vehicle's on-board computers. Parameters
monitored include exact kilometre readings, consumption, mechanical
alerts and fuel levels. In addition, the solution offers real-time
information on hours of use and geographic location.
These data can be used for a variety of purposes:
- Companies interested in preserving the environment can use
data on exact fuel consumption to inform employees about how to
reduce CO2 emissions through more responsible eco-driving
techniques. The benefits include lower fuel costs and more adapted
driving.
- Fleet managers can use each car’s exact kilometre reading to
schedule vehicle maintenance and plan replacements more efficiently
and effectively.
- Companies interested in this service can use geographic
location data to optimise each vehicle’s routing and meet customer
requests for the closest car in real time.
This new fleet management system is offered to all business
customers, who can now order vehicles equipped with the system
before delivery, thereby avoiding long and costly post-delivery
installation. The dealer will deliver a new, already-connected
vehicle.
The ATB can also be fitted on existing vehicles, for more
comprehensive management of the entire fleet using the same
parameters.
To receive the data collected by the system, PSA Peugeot Citroën
invites its customers to subscribe to Fleet Performance, the fleet
management and vehicle geolocation solution offered by its partner
Orange Business Services. This solution is based primarily on a web
portal, which allows an enterprise to remotely access the data of
its fleet. .
Customers have a choice of three service packs:
- Pack 1 -> Fleet management: data on
consumption, hours of use, preventive maintenance, mechanical
alerts and fuel levels.
- Pack 2 -> Pack 1 + Eco-driving:
analysis of driving styles, comparisons among drivers within the
same fleet and related recommendations for improvement.
- Pack 3 -> Pack 2 + geographic
location: fleet situation in real time, search for vehicles near a
specific location and routing displays.
The new fleet management solution is provided by the Peugeot
Connect Fleet Management and Citroën Connect Fleet Management
services, which are available through the Peugeot and Citroën
networks, respectively.
