Scania telemetry & tracking.

[Plastic chicken]

I've just been informed by my boss that our Scania vehicles were fitted with tracking systems when new a couple of years ago, and that these have now been activated, so that drivers' positions to within a few yards are visible at base. We have no choice other than just to live with it.

Scania also incorporates a telemetry which sends all sorts of data back to base, further eroding any 'freedom' drivers might have thought they had. I'm even told it can relay back if the driver is wearing his seatbelt or not....

Anybody know any more about this system, and what are your experiences?

Stupid Swedish pile of junk!

Yeah, I've noticed that about the driving score: braking, I achieve 89%, keeping the revs in the green, 92%; however, no matter how hard I try, cruise on or off, I can never get the 'hill' score above 55%. And that brings the average of the three scores right down...
