Your driver sets off in a platoon

on the motorway - driving at the same speed and distance as two

other vehicles in your fleet, reducing air drag and fuel usage

5Predictive mapping predicts hills

and tells your driver precisely when to accelerate

so he can then roll down the other side

to save fuel

Sharp corner up ahead? Your telematics system will automatically reduce the speed if your driver is going too fast

6 TomTom OptiDrive 360 tells your driver exactly when to take his foot off the accelerator to cruise from a motorway junction to a roundabout using minimum fuel

Slippery road due to heavy rain? The stability control system which controls your driver’s vehicle and your telematics system sends the location of the slippery road to the your other (connected) vehicles in the area
