The latest results of the most state of the art in-cab
technology will be unveiled by national supply chain specialist
Nightfreight in partnership with MAN Truck and Bus UK Limited on
their stand at the Commercial Vehicle Show 2011, NEC, Birmingham
(12th - 14th April).
Since installing MAN EcoStyle, the web-based vehicle and driver
performance reporting tool in over 500 of its vehicles,
Nightfreight has reduced its fuel consumption by 3 per cent across
the fleet and reduced vehicle repairs by 13 per cent.
The on-board telematics has enabled Nightfreight to monitor
driver behaviour and vehicle usage, at the same time as providing
real-time information to its fleet in a bid to improve fuel
efficiency, productivity and individual performance.
Ian Smith, chief executive officer of Nightfreight, said: "We're
delighted to be joining MAN Truck and Bus UK on its stand at the
Commercial Vehicle Show this year.
"With one of our Nightfreight Deliver2Home vehicles on the
stand, we will be demonstrating the first hand benefits of using
MAN EcoStyle.
"By investing in the latest fleet management technology and
managing our fleet even more effectively, we're able to pass on
additional benefits to our UK wide customer base."
Des Evans, chief executive officer of MAN Truck and Bus UK
Limited, said: "We are proud to have Nightfreight on our stand at
the Commercial Vehicle Show 2011 as one of our live case
studies.
"Nightfreight are a true testament to the success of our unique
EcoStyle fleet management system and their commitment to investing
in the latest technology is one of the key driving forces behind
their position in the industry."
