Geotab Success Story
to the DB Regio project

DB Regio relies on the
Geotab telematics system

With a fleet of almost 10,000 vehicles – including around 5,000 of its own vehicles – DB Regio Bus is the market leader in local transport throughout Germany. The company relies on a competent partner to move this extensive fleet of vehicles in a problem-free and environmentally friendly manner: Fairfleet.

Faifleet has equipped DB Regio Bus with the Geotab telematics system, which transmits all the relevant data that the company needs to manage its entire fleet virtually in real time. Satellites can be used to read not only the vehicle’s position, speed and direction of travel, but also relevant data on the vehicle’s condition. DB Regio Bus uses this for optimized maintenance and servicing of the buses, for accident analyses and for the management of fuel cell and e-buses.

In addition to potential savings, DB Regio Bus is also achieving a significant improvement in the area of sustainability thanks to Geotab GO. As the company confirms, unnecessary idle times were reduced by 40% in 2021, saving the environment around 1,400 tons of CO2.

Fairfleet Eco-App
Stress-free driving for efficient work

DB Regio Bus has been using the Fairfleet Eco app as an ideal complement to Geotab GO since 2021. The Eco app accesses the data recorded by Geotab GO and signals the driver’s own driving behavior in the form of striking symbols.

This direct feedback clearly shows the driver when they are in a stressed or hectic driving mode, giving them the opportunity to actively counteract this. An extensive test phase has shown that this feedback is positively received by drivers because it significantly reduces the daily stress of driving. A quiet driving style has also been proven to reduce fuel and energy costs, reduce the risk of accidents and wear and tear and increase passenger comfort. DB Regio Bus aims to reduce its annual CO2 emissions by up to 15,000 tons by using the Eco-App.
