Idling Alerts
If your fleet’s trucks idle en route, the increased fuel costs will surely affect your company. Fuel costs are constantly increasing, so you should limit your car’s fuel as much as possible.
Not only does idling burn fuel, but leaving the motor running while in parking can cause engine wear and tear.
- Configure an idling alert if the engine is left running for more than X seconds.
- The notification can include fields such as Location, Date, Time etc.

- Enable parking fence.
- You can select a schedule that suits you, such as 9 PM to 6 AM.
