Performance Monitoring

Engine run time and performance monitoring is one of fleet management tasks, which allows analyzing workload of vehicles, increasing fleet productivity, optimizing maintenance schedule and costs and extending engine lifetime. Solution of that task also makes reporting and accounting of special equipment operation more transparent and understandable.

Vehicle telematics and GPS tracking systems can automate monitoring of run time and operating modes of equipment. This provides fleet manager with solid ground for eliminating overstated operation hours and fuel consumption, reduce maintenance and repair costs, and link amount of completed work with hours spent and fuel used.

The classic method of tracking engine run time – using standard engine hour meter of vehicle. Disadvantage of this method, and therefore accounting of fuel used based on engine hours, is the lack of information on actual engine workload intervals, idling time and full load operation.
