Remarkable End-User Savings when using Aplicom telematics

In the most recent market study by Frost & Sullivan on medium and heavy commercial vehicles, the benefits of using telematics have been calculated.

The savings per month per vehicle is 233 €. The savings are achieved as follows:

• Reduced waiting time; 23 €
• Remote download of real-time digital tachograph data; 23 €
• Increased productivity; 25 €
• Fuel consumption savings; 36 €
• Route planning; 126 €
  
  • Resulting in less wear and tear

A package made up of Aplicom’s A1 MAX (RDL) and 7” WinCE unit provides roughly the HW content for the calculated example. The payback period per truck with a 233 € monthly saving would be approximately 10 months.

Further savings are likely to be made by the use of advanced back-end integration, ADAS integration, driver training and others. Included in these further savings is a 63 €/vehicle/month reduction in administration time efforts and cutback of process costs through remote driver card and mass memory downloads. This service can be provided to your customers with A1 MAX-RDL.

The payback period in the study is calculated using the following telematics cost assumptions:
Investment: per truck
Hardware Cost: 2,000 € (net amount)
Installation Cost: ~100 €
Service Cost: 40 €/ month (comprehencive)
Cost Savings: ~233 € per month

This shows that the Aplicom alternative is very cost efficient when compared to other telematics HW products for medium and heavy-duty commercial vehicles.
