Sales of Volvo Trucks’ Dynafleet online fleet management system have doubled over a period of one and a half years. Increasing numbers of customers have seen that the system can help significantly cut fuel costs.
"Since the introduction of the latest version of Dynafleet, the number of subscriptions has increased from 11,000 to 21,500. More than one in every three trucks we sell in Europe is now equipped with the system. On certain markets, such as France, Denmark and Finland, more than 60 percent of all new vehicles are specified with Dynafleet," says Johan Selvén, Fleet and Driver Development Manager at Volvo Trucks.
Focus on fuel
The factors behind this immense increase in sales are rising fuel prices and tougher competition between haulage firms. It is a trend that has cleared the way for new tools and applications designed to help customers improve their profitability.
"With Dynafleet the haulage firm gets a whole lot of information, including a detailed picture of each driver's driving style and the amount of fuel each truck consumes under different operating conditions. This is an excellent starting point for training in fuel-efficient driving. Many of our customers have cut their fuel costs by up to seven percent by combining Dynafleet with driver training," explains Johan Selvén.
Mature market - mature products
At the same time, it has become natural for both haulage firms and drivers to use telematics in the course of their work. For increasing numbers of people, it is now as unremarkable to use a fleet management system as it is to have an accounting system at the office. The market has matured, and so have the products.
"Today we can offer a flexible solution that gives each customer the possibility of tailoring its own system to embrace all the required functions. The system is easy to use and a subscription does not cost more than 15 euros a month. Dynafleet's increased sales are evidence that we have a product that truly gives our customers value for their money," says Tom Pontzeele, Commercial Manager in charge of Dynafleet in the Benelux countries.
