• Increased efficient partnership with other players in the transport sector.
• Improved working environment and safety for drivers.

| Implementation Status |
During the procurement process none of the suppliers could provide what Malmö LBC were requesting. In total 8 vehicle computers have been installed and are running in the lorries. A further development of the computers will be done jointly with the provider of the equipment before a large scale introduction in the vehicle park.

| Results |
There was reason to believe that the full scale implementation of a company designed vehicle computer would contribute to even further reductions of fuel. Vehicle computers have the potential to reinforce the effects of heavy eco-driving education through a further reduction of 2% on fuel consumption and emissions of the greenhouse gas CO2. Most probably the measure had positive effects on the drivers, especially those that were testing the vehicle computers, in terms of being involved in its the development and therefore drivers had their needs and requirements listened to when it came to their day to day work situation. There was also reason to believe that this would also give positive effects on the development of the business.
