You might ask what’s the big deal with and engine that idles?
If you run a business of any size, and have vehicles on the road you might be interested in the following.
Idling your car or trucks engine, leaving it on while you are not moving, wastes fuel. A general rule of thumb is to consider that for every 1 hour of idling, you are burning through about 1 gallon of gas. You may not think this is a big deal – but a little here and there, or worse yet multiplied across numerous vehicles across a fleet will quickly turn into a lot of gallons of wasted fuel.
So why, is a GPS tracking company, talking about idling vehicle?
Modern gps tracking devices can tell you how long a vehicle has been idling. That’s right – with one of our devices you will be able to know exactly how long one or all of your vehicles have been idling for.
How do you do it?
That’s a secret! Actually, all kidding aside its pretty simple. With a gps tracking device we know when a vehicle’s ignition is on or off. Since our gps tracking systems calculate vehicles speeds. we can say for the most part a vehicle with the ignition on, that is not moving is more than likely idling.
How does that help you?
