MAN Introduces A New Telematics Solution Suite For Customers In MEA Region

MAN Truck & Bus has introduced a powerful enterprise grade telematics solution for customers in the Middle East-Africa (MEA) region. This dynamic solution suite is designed to support improved levels of fleet efficiency & safety and reduce environmental impact. EcoStyle has been fine-tuned through millions of hours in service and combines powerful technology to help customers enhance their earnings.

The introduction of this solution is part of the digitalization initiatives at MAN. EcoStyle provides customers with key operational information, allowing them to monitor fuel consumption, driver performance, and much more. Dashboards provide full visibility of the information that matters at a glance, or users can delve deeper through a rich suite of reports and views.

“Over the years, MAN vehicles have become reference for reliability and efficiency. However, our customers are constantly looking at ways to achieve greater operational efficiency with the aim to increase their earnings. With the MAN EcoStyle, we are confident that customers will get to gain more from their vehicles,” said Joerg Mommertz, Senior Vice President, Head of Sales Area Middle East, Africa & Latin America (MEA&LA), MAN Truck & Bus.

MAN Truck & Bus has partnered with Microlise, a UK-based company that has developed and tested this solution suite. EcoStyle lets customers track their vehicles in real-time. This has been enabled by integrating with Google Maps. Customers can get detailed information about each vehicle in their fleet and get street level view.

Through monitoring, debrief and regular coaching in good driving practice, customers can realize savings of 5% to 15% in fuel costs within their fleet. Information such as harsh cornering, speeding and harsh braking can be monitored, giving customers the data that they can use to coach their drivers in best practice. In addition, improved utilization can help to improve fuel efficiency still further.
