FleetBoard at the IAA 2010: A new dimension of logistics

FleetBoard will be presenting ground breaking telematics services for the efficiency of your trucks and vans at the world's most important trade show for commercial vehicles. We invite you to visit our stand from September 23rd to 30th, 2010 - you'll find us in the Mercedes-Benz area of Daimler Trucks in hall no. 23/30 where we will present our product innovations for more flexible transport processes:
The new FleetBoard Logistics Management enables dispatchers to flexibly plan orders. The FleetBoard developers have placed particular value on a modern, ergonomic user interface. A status workflow that can be individually configured for the transportation task and helps the drivers record information on the order, trip and loads. This information can be sent to a logistics, incoming goods or ERP system for recalculation.
In the new FleetBoard Mapping, trips can be tracked in detail - even in border areas and inner city traffic. Satellite images help quickly visualise the vehicle position and the route taken. This is based on significantly improved and faster position updates.
For the IAA Commercial Vehicle show, FleetBoard has expanded it’s range of hardware devices for the driver cab with the introduction of the DispoPilot.guide. The new device, with its large 7" screen (17.8 cm) offers an inexpensive way to access the world of professional logistics management. This integrates the latest navigation software with truck attributes and additional functions such as track assistant and the consideration of hazardous goods transports when planning the trip.
Furthermore, the FleetBoard telematic services for Mercedes-Benz vans will be available from the factory. In the past, the telematic system could only be retrofitted to the Sprinter. This can reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emmissions by up to 20%.

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.
