TomTom announced that it has teamed-up with DKV, the market leader in cash-free fuel services, to help truckers to drive more efficiently by minimizing their fuel consumption. TomTom also announced that its vehicle-integrated TomTom Bridge Hub platform has been chosen by Daimler Trucks to provide navigation and vehicle data to drivers, globally.
TomTom’s large vehicle maps, navigation, traffic and routing expertise has been chosen to pair with DKV’s knowledge of fuel stops to create two applications, available on the TomTom Bridge device from 2019. They are called DKV ECO DRIVING and DKV REFUEL PLANNING and are combined with the DKV BONIFICATION system wherein drivers can be awarded for economic driving by choosing from a selection of rewards that the vehicle operator can determine.
DKV ECO DRIVING uses telematics data to help the driver develop a more efficient driving style, while DKV REFUEL PLANNING guides the truck driver on the shortest and cheapest route to the best value filling station.
