We have been constantly hearing the clamor to shift towards fuel-efficient cars and apparently this new service can give us a better view on why we should. Zipcar today announced FastFleet by Zipcar, a new service that enables government and other fleet managers to save money, reduce risk and promote sustainability.
With FastFleet, for the first time, fleet operators may leverage the same technology that powers Zipcar’s consumer fleet. Washington, D.C., which is the first city in the country to adopt the system, estimates it has saved more than $300,000 during a four month pilot of FastFleet. As expansion plans are underway, the District of Columbia estimates it will save more than $1 million in the first 12 months.
With FastFleet, fleet administrators may:
- Design and configure their fleet footprint in real time for optimal utilization
- Locate and track vehicles through a global positioning system
- Manage hundreds of critical activities including preventive maintenance, fueling, billing, and fleet distribution, just to name a few
- Analyze usage and diagnostic data, automatically captured during every trip
- Utilize FastFleet’s robust, experience-driven analytics to stay on top of trends, ahead of situations and in control of their fleet
