Fleet Management – EROAD Idle Reports
Idling, as it turns out, is a leading factor in fuel waste. An EROAD study found that, on average, 7 percent of customers’ fuel consumption is burned in non-productive vehicle idling. (Productive idling such as that required to run compressors, cranes, and other auxiliary equipment is exempt from this figure.)
EROAD Idle Report improves fuel economy and reduces engine wear and tear by displaying average and total idle time by vehicle. The Ehubo2 alerts drivers in real-time to excess idling, giving the ability to self-monitor their idling behaviour. The costs saved by monitoring idle events and tracking behaviour over time will deliver significant improvements to your bottom line.
Switch off and save
You can achieve major cost savings from operating vehicles more efficiently by managing idle times. Lower idle times save fuel and money, and reduce emissions, engine wear and maintenance costs.
EROAD’s user-friendly tools and reports help you identify key trends, exceptions and unusual idle behaviour. With greater transparency and understanding, you can implement changes to drive better productivity across your fleet.

Key features
For TIL Group, the simple act of sharing idle reports in the breakroom induced a drop in linehaul idling that translated into increased fuel efficiency at the Christchurch branch. Compared to July 2020 and earlier, fuel transactions in September dropped by more than 37 percent as a direct consequence of the reduction in idle time.
“EROAD gives you a broader understanding of the effects of idling and speeds on different elements of fleet management.”
