Eicher Live opens up the key dimensions of fuel efficiency, uptime and productivity which customers can now influence like never before, to drive performance to the next level.

Telematics is a system which transmits real-time data generated by the vehicle to the back end server which is then converted to meaningful information and reports. The major components of telematics system are hardware unit fitted in the vehicle, mobile SIM card
fitted in the telematics hardware, servers to host the data and web portal for user interface to see reports.

Eicher goes smart with advanced telematics
Eicher Live, an advanced fleet management system works on the function of Telematics and is a “Live Hub” of real-time communication and actions by customers, dealers and Eicher. It allows the management of truck fleets by monitoring their movement, fuel consumption and maintenance needs. It enables proactive maintenance of the truck. The system throws up fault indicators to the driver in the form of visual signals, messages and alarms. Together with the fully equipped Eicher service network, this ensures preventive and corrective maintenance of the truck, thus delivering superior uptime. Further, the uptime services enable service teams to proactively schedule and plan for the repairs and maintenance activities on the vehicle. In this way the truck spends more time generating revenues. In the event of a breakdown, Eicher service team is well prepared with the right parts, tools and the right technician to address the repairs and minimise the downtime.
Another interesting feature of Eicher Live is the dynamic service reminders in mining tippers, where the vehicle utilisation changes with the dynamic needs of the customer’s business and thus it also allows altering the truck’s service plan. These service reminders help the customers and fleet owners to schedule and plan for the vehicle’s preventive maintenance.

Eicher Live offers granular views at the level of a driver, a vehicle and a time span. It’s a real time dashboard of your fleet, tracking the most important factors. Eicher Live opens up the key dimensions of fuel efficiency, uptime and productivity which customers can now influence like never before, to drive performance to the next level.

Maximise profitability and productivity
Eicher Live’s dynamic intelligence helps you maximise profitability and productivity, putting you in control of your business. It offers three key features: Uptime management, fuel management and trip management.

Uptime management
It helps detect, schedule and plan for vehicle repairs pro-actively, enabling more on-road time and hence productivity. Preventive maintenance reminders help take good care of your vehicle and let you focus more on operations. The following are offered as part of Uptime Management:

Advanced breakdown assistance
When a driver calls breakdown assistance service, the workshop has prior information from fault codes on a vehicle, pre-preparing the breakdown assistance team for attending to a vehicle repair.

Dynamic service reminders
Eicher Live dynamic service reminders help you and your Eicher workshop to schedule and plan for your vehicle’s preventive maintenance.

Pro-active Service
It enables a Eicher workshop to identify faults generated by the vehicle and schedule the repair with you proactively, enabling fewer un-planned stops.

Fuel management
Trip and vehicle level fuel utilisation and FE statistics help detect theft and therefore profitability of the fleet. Fuel consumption analysis can be accessed as per convenience from the ‘Eicher-Live’ portal. It also helps to track trip sweet-spot per cent by time periods to monitor efficiency across high priority routes. Sweet spot is the fuel economy mode. The company provides per cent sweet spot in terms of fuel consumed (which means how much percentage of fuel consumed was consumed in sweet spot) and in terms of time spent in sweet spot (which means how much percentage of engine hours was clocked in sweet spot). The features under fuel management are:
• Fuel consumption information by vehicle and by driver
It helps track fuel efficiency by driver and vehicle. With this, one can know its benchmark drivers by vehicle and by route.
• Fuel consumption analysis by driving modes
It helps identify fuel efficiency improvement areas and trains and encourages drivers for fuel efficient driving.

Trip management
It tracks vehicle location, ignition status, meter readings and fuel levels; monitors time, distance to destination and discusses fuel level indications with drivers. It includes:
• Track Location: It gets near real time location of your vehicle.
• Trace Route: It monitors trip history of your vehicle in the last three months.
