Sudden starts and stops are not good for the fleets. There are few factors like bad weather, accidents, bad roads & heavy traffic that can lead to all sorts of starts and stops. This may sound a petty issue but in long run, these things do affect the life of your vehicle, resultantly it leads to high maintenance cost.
GPS tracking system can help you avoid these sudden starts & stops. The GPS device will notify the command centre in case of harsh driving, keeping a complete record of the number of times a vehicle started and stopped during its journey.
Below are the key points that can extra miles to your vehicles:
Fleet travels miles during their journey without stopping for hours and days sometimes. Conserving the mechanical fitness of the vehicles can earn them some extra miles in their journey before needing the maintenance.
Avoid stepping the accelerators hard when the signal turns green can damage your vehicles badly, for instance, sudden braking adds wear to brakes which can lead to failure of brakes or required frequent replacement of brakes or fast acceleration can cause unwanted strain on components of the vehicle.
Regular training to drivers can also resolve this issue. If drivers know this that hard acceleration or sudden brakes shorten the life of vehicle then they will be more careful.
Study the vehicle’s report after each journey to understand the pattern of driving. The driving pattern is easy to notice in the report & once you know that rash driving has taken place too many times in a journey then corrective measures can be taken accordingly. The complete report of the vehicle is available at the GPS tracking system.
Bottom line is sudden starts and stops can cost a lot in long-term but constant monitoring with the help of GPS tracking device can help save a lot of costs and extend your fleet's life.
