A MORE EFFICIENT PHASE

Today, Gevara has 300 employees and can offer a wide range of logistics services: export, transit, Europe-wide freight forwarding, import, customs brokerage, oversized freight, warehousing, distribution in the Baltics, customs clearance, parcel forwarding to the United Kingdom and other solutions. A rapidly growing team, a fleet of trucks, and a portfolio of services bring their own challenges, attentiveness, diligence, and speed, as the company’s main ambitions require appropriate and professional solutions.

One of the most pressing operational challenges we've been grappling with is the accurate estimation of actual fuel consumption. This issue is of vital importance as it directly impacts the company’s bottom line. Despite developing in-house systems to measure fuel consumption over a period of time, they often fall short of providing comprehensive information on whether driving is economical and whether opportunities for fuel savings are being maximized. Furthermore, the company’s diverse fleet, which includes DAF, Mercedes-Benz, VOLVO, SCANIA, RENAULT T, and MAN model trucks, poses a unique challenge. Using different applications offered by each manufacturer would be complicated by different settings and parameters and could lead to unnecessary competition between drivers. We needed to find a reliable partner to offer one universal application.

STARTING A MORE EFFICIENT PHASE WITH LINQO

To this end, Linqo’s eco-driving module has distinguished itself, in particular, by its ability to apply standardized rules to mixed fleets (Eco-Drive grouping functionality). Therefore, GPS tracking technology was implemented in the second half of 2023, marking the beginning of a more efficient phase.

Thanks to the Eco-Drive solution, we can monitor and analyze driver errors that increase fuel consumption and the operating costs of the tractor. This module is now inseparable from our day-to-day operations, as economical driving helps to reduce fuel consumption, contributing to the company’s economic efficiency. Also, Eco-Drive helps to reduce the operating costs of the tractor thanks to less wear and tear on expensive components such as pads, brake discs, etc. In addition to avoiding additional costs, lower fuel consumption reduces CO2 emissions, thus contributing to environmental sustainability.

Responsible risk management and the ability to make the necessary decisions in real time are urgent tasks for every logistics company. Therefore, we have already integrated other Linqo solutions into its operational functions, such as monitoring driver activity, recording work and rest irregularities, and remote scanning of driver cards.

MEASURABLE RESULTS: REDUCED FUEL CONSUMPTION, ACCIDENT RATES AND CO2 FOOTPRINT

Although we have been using the Eco-Drive module for less than a full year, it has already given a positive result since the first integrations:

• 2,098% reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions – demonstrating more efficient use of fuel and management of vehicles, and a reduction in the negative environmental impact.
• Reduction in the accident rate – demonstrating that the principle of economic driving is proportionate to the principles of safe driving.


Our experience shows that just by starting to think about GPS tracking solutions, you are already starting the journey towards their implementation.

Linqo provided us with modern and user-friendly solutions - program management, monitoring of driver activity and economic driving are well thought out, visual and functional elements are intuitively understandable, so using the program itself and understanding the indicators presented by it is extremely easy. We believe that these first results are just the beginning of our successful cooperation.
