Svensk Cater has been using Drivec’s Ecodriving system in its trucks in Malmö since 2023 – and the gains have been significant.
– The system has helped us reduce fuel consumption and emissions and has contributed to less wear and tear on our vehicles, says Peter Larsson, Senior Project Manager.
Svensk Cater is a nationwide wholesale company in the food industry. In Malmö, the company operates a mixed vehicle fleet consisting of both diesel- and electric-powered trucks.
– We were looking for a system that could provide a clear overview of our vehicles and help us drive more efficiently and sustainably. Ecodriving proved to be the right choice for us, not least because it is fuel-agnostic. For our electric vehicles, for example, it has enabled them to travel longer distances on a single charge, says Peter Larsson.
Clear results
Initially, there was some scepticism among drivers about having Ecodriving installed in their vehicles. However, following Drivec’s training and once they saw the rapid improvements delivered by the system, attitudes began to change.
– Ecodriving clearly shows how much impact each individual driver can have. It makes it tangible how they contribute to reducing both our fuel consumption and emissions, says Peter Larsson.
Automatic tachograph data downloads
For some time now, Svensk Cater has complemented the system with Drivec’s service for automatic downloads of tachograph and driver card data. This means that all data is transmitted automatically and securely from the vehicles to any chosen system for storage and analysis – without the drivers needing to do anything.
– The service makes things much easier for us, for example when reporting to the Swedish Transport Agency, says Peter Larsson.
Oskar Svensson, Customer Success Manager at Drivec, considers Svensk Cater an exciting customer to work with.
– They have made great progress in a short time and are very effective in using the insights provided by Ecodriving. We are pleased to have been able to help them save both money and the environment, and we look forward to continued close cooperation.
