Remote Diagnostics

Decrease Downtime and Repair Costs

With more than 50 issued and pending patents surrounding remote vehicle diagnostics, Networkfleet™ differentiates itself from other products in that it interfaces with the engine computer of a vehicle to provide diagnostics information.

The ability to quickly pinpoint vehicles with excessive idle times, speeds and inefficient MPG helps your fleet maximize efficiency and minimize costs. The results can be staggering. GPS-only products do not provide this diagnostics analysis.

This valuable information allows Networkfleet to instantly notify fleet managers when a problem occurs and provide diagnostic summary reports.

Networkfleet can communicate with numerous vehicle protocols and standards including CAN, ISO, J-1708, and J-1939 allowing it to be installed in virtually any vehicle on the market.

Problem Alerts

Detect Problems At An Earlier, Less Expensive Stage

We alert you by e-mail saving time and reducing headaches. Networkfleet is the only product that automatically notifies you by e-mail if one of your vehicles reports a diagnostic trouble code (DTC). Networkfleet provides the precise DTC code and a description identifying the specific nature of the problem. This allows technicians to begin their analysis immediately instead of spending time trying to find out what's wrong. Why wait days or even weeks for your drivers to report back that a vehicle's check engine light is on, when Networkfleet provides this information immediately? By catching problems early, you will be able to reduce repair costs and downtime.

Accurate Speed Data

Reduce Accidents and Improve Driver Safety

Networkfleet™ uses patented technology to monitor vehicle speed directly from the engines of your vehicles. Other GPS companies may offer speed reporting but it is based on "GPS calculated speed". This is an averaging technique using GPS that will help you monitor averages for your fleet but not exceptions that directly affect the safety and performance of your fleet

Miles Per Gallon*

Pinpoint Vehicles with Less Than Optimal Performance

With increasing gas prices, fuel is a major monthly expenditure.

In 2002, approximately 70% of a class 1 and 2 fleet's total operating costs were spent on fuel. Networkfleet helps you monitor fuel efficiency to help save those hard earned dollars.

MPG Features

• Review the current MPG of your fleet vehicles and graphs and charts that show MPG over time
• Perform additional maintenance on poorly performing vehicles to increase fuel efficiency

*MPG data not available on all makes/models

Real-time Mileage

Increase the Effectiveness of PM Programs

In the past there has not been a convenient way to collect odometer readings for fleet vehicles. Manual data collection was error prone and time consuming. Networkfleet's system reports real-time odometer readings directly from the vehicle's diagnostic system, and processes this information with a proprietary software algorithm to determine the odometer reading.

Idle Time Monitoring

Reduce Fuel Costs and Pollution by Improving Driver Performance

The ability to compare idle time across the vehicles in your fleet can provide an enormous Return on Investment (ROI). Whether you operate a commercial trucking company driving an average of 10,000 miles a week or you are a plumber driving 2,000 miles a week, idle time is a key parameter to help you monitor driver behavior. Networkfleet™ shows you which drivers are idling excessively. This feature allows you to monitor exceptions to your company policy or set goals for your fleet to achieve fuel savings.

Idle Time Monitoring Examples

• 100 Vans, Service Industry. Average idle time is 12%. Networkfleet tells you when individual vehicles exceed this average. On an annual basis, catching these exceptions early will provide a healthy ROI.
• 25 Heavy Duty Trucks. Average mileage - 80,000 /year. Average idle time is 18%. In addition to monitoring for overage exceptions, Networkfleet allows you to access information to lower your average idle times.

Remote Smog Check

Reduce Costs by Enrolling in California's Program

1996 and newer light and medium fleet OBD-II may be enrolled in the state approved Continuous Testing Pilot (CTP) program that permits smog test exemption. Vehicle emissions are continually monitored through the wireless network and there is no need to have vehicles physically inspected as long as they are running cleanly.

• Saves the costs associated with smog tests
• Reduces vehicle downtime for physical inspection

Environmental Applications

An exclusive offering from Networkfleet. Certain high mileage vehicles such as taxis and transit vehicles are considered gross polluters and contribute a high percentage of air pollution in metropolitan areas. Networkfleet's economically-priced Continuous Emissions Monitoring systems is the perfect solution.
