[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”887″ img_size=”1100×800″ css=””][vc_column_text css=””]Connect Bus has Drivec\u2019s systems for eco-driving and vehicle health installed on over 500 buses across Sweden\u2014and has now also begun installing them on its vehicles in Norway.
\n\u2013 The systems help us achieve significant fuel savings and reduce wear on our buses. That is very welcome in an industry with tight margins, says Mattias Johammar, Fleet Manager at Connect Bus.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Drivec\u2019s collaboration with Connect Bus began in 2020, when around 20 buses in Sjuh\u00e4rad and \u00d6cker\u00f6 were equipped with Ecodriving and Drivec Vehicle Health Management (a system for vehicle health). The initiative delivered the desired results, and since then the bus company has installed Drivec\u2019s systems on more than 500 buses, from Kronoberg in the south to Norrbotten in the north.<\/p>\n

\u2013 We have very positive experiences, but it requires us to work actively with the systems, not least with the drivers. Having a clear and ongoing dialogue with them is essential for success. When it works best, it almost becomes like a competition among the drivers to reduce fuel consumption as much as possible, says Mattias Johammar.<\/p>\n

Weekly dialogue<\/strong>
\nEcodriving helps Connect Bus\u2019s fleet operate efficiently, while VHM makes it possible to monitor the status of each bus and provides a good overview of wear across all vehicles.<\/p>\n

\u2013 The systems work together effectively. The vehicle health program allows us, among other things, to address issues on our buses before they occur\u2014for example, predicting brake wear or high engine temperatures, says Mattias Johammar.<\/p>\n

Drivec and Connect Bus maintain close communication and are in contact almost every week.<\/p>\n

\u2013 It can involve anything from driver requests for new features to issues in the systems that aren\u2019t working at the moment. The collaboration runs smoothly; Drivec is always open to making changes, says Mattias Johammar.<\/p>\n

Norway next<\/strong>
\nThe next step in the collaboration is to introduce Drivec\u2019s systems on Connect\u2019s buses in Norway, something that has already begun.<\/p>\n

\u2013 In all new contracts we sign in Norway, Drivec\u2019s systems are now included, says Mattias Johammar.<\/p>\n

At Drivec, they are watching developments in Norway with great interest.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Mattias Johammar has been part of our entire journey in Sweden with Connect Bus, and our strong collaboration with him has now also opened doors for us in Norway, which feels incredibly exciting. The market there could even become larger than in Sweden, says Oskar Svensson, Customer Success Manager at Drivec.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
