10 Years FleetBoard – The Formula for Your Success
The introduction of a telematics solution by Daimler dates back to a
research project carried out in the 1980s. At that time, the objective was
to increase the maintenance intervals of utility vehicles. At the IAA 2000,
Mercedes-Benz presented their first own system able to transmit detailed
vehicle and driver data from the vehicle. 10 years after its market
introduction, the FleetBoard concept has proven to be successful. With the
status of today, more than 60,000 utility vehicles in approximately 1,300
European haulage companies have been equipped with FleetBoard. Besides
saving plenty of fuel and profiting from the automation of their logistics
processes, these vehicles significantly reduce the CO2 emissions. Due to
their equipment with FleetBoard, they have contributed to the fact that
174,000 tons of CO2 were saved in 2009. The economy calculations of
customers show that it is possible to save up to Euro 6,500 and 6,000 kg of
CO2 per vehicle and year. Long-term customers experience considerable
savings in maintenance and repair costs. External examination institutes
such as the DEKRA attest the first-class FleetBoard quality through
certification of products and processes. And we will again put forth
vigorous effort this year to live up to our slogan “We do everything for
your success”.
Pilot customers from the transport and logistics industry are supporting
the establishing of the telematics system with their decisions made in
favour of FleetBoard. Read here on a regular basis how selected customers
benefit from FleetBoard.
WebServices Wiki – Documentation Available Online Anytime
FleetBoard WebServices permit the integration of the FleetBoard telematics
services into the proprietary software of your haulage company. The
documentation of this system interface was so far provided as PDF file.
From now on, this information is available in an online portal where
connectors and customers can register free of charge. Major advantages of
the online documentation are permanent availability, clear information
structure and always up-to-date contents. This ensures that technical
descriptions can be found and read easily.
Customers interested in using FleetBoard from within a haulier software can
find further information about the connectors and the scope here. If you are interested in
using the WebServices Wiki, you can register here. By the way: The term Wiki comes
from Hawaii and means “quick”.
