Driver evaluation
Part of My Scania
Besides traffic safety and the wear and tear of the vehicle, driver behaviour influences as much as 15% of the fuel consumption – affecting both fuel costs and CO2 emissions for internal combustion vehicles (ICE). For battery electric vehicles (BEV) it is one of the factors that directly impacts the battery energy consumption. The Driver Evaluation service fairly and objectively analyses the driver’s performance and provides a clear grade from A to E, as well as tips on what and how to improve.
Quick facts
- Reduction in fuel consumption – lowered fuel costs and CO2 emissions.
- Reduced vehicle wear and tear – less time in the workshop and a positive effect on productivity.
- Safer driving behaviour – decreased risk for accidents.
- Scania Communicator and vehicle connectivity required.
- Requires driver card inserted in the Tachograph or a personal ID button connected.
- The service is available as part of the Control Package or standalone (for ICE vehicles only).
How Driver Evaluation works
With this service, each participating driver is compared using the Scania unique Performance Evaluation Model (PEM) which factors in the specification of the vehicle, the market and the type of operation the driver is performing.
The driver data is graded in comparison with anonymised driving behaviour data from the entire connected global rolling Scania fleet
– all to provide a result which is as accurate and objective as possible, and which only grades on factors that the driver can actively influence.
Besides the overall grade, individual grades are also provided for; anticipation, idling, hill driving, coasting, driving with cruise control and speeding. With a sortable ranking list, and the option to specify time periods you can clearly see driver trends, and as easily identify the drivers with the greatest potential for improvement, as well as following up on their development over time.
The driver grades are shown for each individual driver in the Scania Driver app, and the full fleet overview is clearly reported in the My Scania platform.
The Scania Driver app gives you a detailed view of the driving performance.
