From Data to Decisions: The Innovative Benefits of Telematics

The game-changing technology of telematics is revolutionising the transport industry by turning raw data into powerful, actionable insights that can improve operational efficiency, driver safety, and ultimately reducing costs.

Whether you are an owner driver or manage a fleet of fifty, telematics is the key to making smarter, data-driven decisions that propel your operations forward

Let’s take a closer look at how telematics works, the benefits it can offer your operations, and how Hino-Connect is leading the charge in this transformative shift.

To put it simply, it’s a clever combination of telecommunications and informatics that collects and transfers real-time data and provides fleet operators with comprehensive insights into their fleets performance.

From vehicle performance to driver behaviour data, telematics takes the guesswork out of fleet management, and gives you all the information you need to make smarter, more efficient operational decisions - all at the touch of a button.

Since their inception in the late 1970’s, telematics systems have evolved significantly from the basic ‘black box’ style recorders on-board the vehicle. Initially offering only limited information such as a speed and location, today’s telematics are much more sophisticated and comprehensive, capable of tracking data like:

Recognising the invaluable benefits telematics offers Fleet Operators and business owners, Hino Australia launched Hino-Connect in 2021. Now a standard feature on all new Hino 700 and 500 Series models, Hino-Connect delivers cutting-edge technology to optimise fleet performance and efficiency.

Unlike standard telematics systems, Hino-Connect offers industry-leading remote diagnostics capabilities, providing 24/7 observation and reporting of vehicle faults. Your vehicle is under constant monitoring, and in the event of a severe issue, an immediate alert will be sent to the driver, Fleet Operator and a dedicated Hino-Connect Specialist. This real-time communication means Fleet Operators can stay informed, be proactive, and book a Hino dealer service, should one be required. As the only OEM offering full-cycle monitoring from fault detection to resolution, Hino-Connect ensures an unparalleled level of support and expertise for Fleet Operators.

Using real-time data and insights, Fleet Operators can track and improve key areas including driver behaviour, fuel efficiency, driver safety and vehicle utilisation through simple dashboards in the portal.

This cloud based platform has recently been enhanced, designed for speed, simplicity and ease of use. Fully optimised for mobile devices, the next generation Hino-Connect portal provides inimitable accessibility anytime, anywhere.

The new Service Module provides full visibility of the entire fleet’s maintenance, so Fleet Operators can track service intervals and easily identify vehicles requiring immediate attention.

By integrating these new features, it continues to showcase Hino’s dedication to continuous improvement and innovation.. With over 5,500 customer vehicles registered to use the system, Hino-Connect assists business owners and Fleet Operators to make informed decisions that will optimise operations, enhance driver performance, and reduce costs.
