TomTom ecoPLUS – helping businesses win the battle to cut fuel costs and reduce CO
Leipzig – 22. September, 2010
TomTom today announces the new TomTom ecoPLUS, a device which provides businesses with a cost effective, and scalable way to access
reliable data giving them the means to measure and reduce their fuel costs and carbon footprint. ecoPLUS can be installed within
minutes on all types of vehicles.
Launched today by TomTom Business Solutions, the business unit of TomTom dedicated to commercial vehicle fleets, ecoPLUS provides WEBFLEET with data taken directly from the vehicles giving fleet managers back in the office the ability to measure and benchmark fuel efficiency and carbon footprint data allowing them to take any remedial action required.
For any commercial fleet manager, the twin aims of cutting fuel costs and reducing their carbon footprint are right at the top of
the agenda. With ecoPLUS we provide an easy solution that works out of the box, on the wide variety of vehicles that today's commercial
fleets consist of
says Thomas Schmidt, Managing Director of TomTom Business Solutions.
Real time vehicle data provided in WEBFLEET includes fuel consumption, CO2 emission, RPM, gear and idling allowing fleet managers to view performance at any given time of the journey. The WEBFLEET dashboard and reporting functionality help measure performance against targets set.
TomTom ecoPLUS forms a part of the WORKsmart-Eco solution that helps businesses to optimise vehicle utilisation and encourage eco-friendly driving behaviour, thus reducing both distance travelled and fuel consumption. ecoPLUS uses information available from the vehicle and sends this via Bluetooth to the in-car TomTom LINK 300/310, which in turn relays the information instantly to fleet managers using WEBFLEET.
Availability and pricing:
The new TomTom ecoPLUS will be made available during the fourth quarter of 2010 via authorised business partners.
TomTom ecoPLUS will be priced at €149 / £129 (RRP ex VAT).
