Eco-safe driving is a set of driving practices that are proven to minimize a vehicle’s emissions while also reducing fuel and promoting road safety. In fact, the U.S. Department of Energy estimates that eco-driving can increase gas mileage by approximately 15% to 30% (on highways) and 10% to 40% (in stop-and-go traffic) compared to aggressive driving. This can translate into gasoline savings of up to $1.31 per gallon. Therefore, as less fuel is burned, your fleet’s carbon footprint decreases.
When implementing an eco-safe driving program across your organization, Route4Me can help you. In detail, Route4Me’s route optimization software gives you the ability to track your drivers in real time as well as in retrospect. Specifically, with Route4Me, you can leverage live tracking or watch an animated video with your drivers’ GPS tracking history whenever you please. This feature helps you ensure your field employees comply with your newly implemented eco-safe driving program.
