Fort Lauderdale, FL maintains a smart vehicle fleet with telematics
The City of Fort Lauderdale's Fleet Services department used telematics technology in hundreds of police cars, firetrucks and other city vehicles to significantly reduce fleet downtime, reduce idle time and decrease overall fuel consumption. Rather than relying on drivers to report potential vehicle problems, real-time diagnostic data from their telematics system allowed the city to see engine fault codes and to quickly diagnose maintenance issues.

Project Succeeded
The city was able to reduce idling by 20% by pairing driver behavior data with fuel use and coaching drivers on best practices for fuel-efficient driving. Even as the fleet grew, overall fuel consumption decreased by 5% — the equivalent of 28,000 gallons in fuel savings.
