Go Green and Save Green

Since Networkfleet connects directly to a vehicle’s on -board diagnostic (OBD-II) port, it dynamically measures and reports on the status of a vehicle's emission control system. The system collects and wirelessly transmits emissions information directly from the vehicle. Fleet managers log in to a secure Web site to view emissions data and receive email notifications regarding emissions status.
Networkfleet’s continuous emissions monitoring service can currently be used by all vehicles that have been manufactured after 1996, including light and medium duty trucks.

• Reduces emissions by providing fleet managers with instantaneous awareness of vehicle emission control system failures.
• Performs a complete EPA-mandated emissions control system check every four hours of vehicle run-time
• Immediately emails a fleet manager when an emissions control device malfunctions so action can be taken to fix the problem
• Helps reduce idle time by monitoring excess engine idling
• Helps improve fuel efficiency by identifying unnecessary vehicle use and poor driving habits

Savings in Time/Money for Fleets
With Networkfleet’s continuous emissions monitoring, fleet managers are notified immediately if a vehicle has a faulty emissions control device. This means that they can get a vehicle serviced before the problem escalates, which lowers maintenance expense.the opportunity to take pro-active steps to ensure the vehicle runs “green.”

Fuel Savings from Emissions Monitoring
A vehicle not in compliance with EPA emissions levels will typically have a drop in fuel economy from between 2 to 6 miles per gallon (MPG) below the average estimate of 20.3 MPG for all vehicles. If the average loss in fuel economy is 4 MPG, then the unnecessary consumption of fuel reaches almost 150 gallons of gasoline a year for each vehicle.
Network Fleet has been the recipient of many awards for emissions monitoring, including Frost & Sullivan’s acknowledgment of Networkcar’s efforts with its prestigious 2006 Technology Innovation Award for Continuous Emissions Monitoring and an EPA Clean Air Excellence award.
This technology is economical, convenient, and consumes less time than taking the vehicle out of service to have the emissions tested. The other major advantage is that continuous monitoring allows for a near real -time assessment of emissions status, as compared to the normal conventional method of checking yearly or bi -yearly as required by some states.
