Did you know that approximately 30% of the engine-on time is spent on idling. Some of the idling can’t be avoided, but to a large extent it is just costly and unproductive. The Idless service will help you take control and reduce your fuel and engine wear costs.
Using Idless will help you reduce fuel consumption, emissions and engine wear, thus cutting operational cost. It will also help comply with local regulations on idling in city centers and other areas sensitive to pollution from exhaust emissions.
Idling is a telling example of a hidden operational cost. The main savings are on fuel, but the reduced engine wear will reduce maintenance cost and extend the vehicle’s service lifetime. The following figures are based on data from more than 10,000 connected vehicles
Idless is a Volvo Connect service accessed on the Volvo Connect main page. To use Idless, the Reports and Events services must be activated, as Idless relies on data from them.
The dashboard gives an immediate overview of idling-related data, for the selected period and the selected vehicles. The filtering function will dynamically change the information shown.
In the map tool, we display idle areas based on idling events. You can choose to view the number of events, idling time, fuel consumption or a heat map, color-coded to show the frequency of the events. Zooming in on the map, you’ll be able to find information about which vehicles the events belong to.
In this window, you can see the fuel consumption trend of the past five weeks. The green bars represent fuel consumption, and you can also find the percentage of fuel spent on idling. The yellow line shows the kilometers traveled in that week, providing a way to crosscheck the relation with idling.
Here, you'll have a list of all the filtered vehicles, sorted by the highest idling fuel consumption. This makes it easy to identify the ones that need more attention. Is it driving style or is it a vehicle issue? For analysis, you can save the list as an Excel file.
