Volvo I-Coaching

Improve your drivers’ performance

Volvo I-Coaching is a connected service for continuous improvement of driver performance. Instant feedback on vital driving parameters help professional drivers to adopt a more smoother, more efficient driving style. On a discreet display on the dashboard, the driver gets alerts on harsh acceleration, braking and cornering, as well as over-speeding and excessive revving and idling.

Instant feedback

Volvo I-Coaching is a very direct, and thus efficient, tool for improving driver performance. Instant feedback on vital driving parameters help professional drivers to adopt a more efficient driving style. I-Coaching has proven to give lasting effects on fuel consumption and passenger comfort.

How better driving could mean 5% of fuel savings*

The implementation of I-Coaching can give stunning results. In a real-life case from commercial operation, a customer reset these parameters in order to suit their business. The drivers were informed about the function and how to act upon alerts. A trial was conducted over a period of six months and the operator noted amazing results. Fuel savings exceeded 5% and driving parameters indicated substantially enhanced ride comfort.

Saving fuel

It’s a fact that I-Coaching is a fast way to a more efficient driving style. Reports show that I-Coaching alone can give a five percent fuel saving.

Less wear and tear

Smoother driving also reduces the risk of damage and unnecessary wear on brakes, tyres and so on. I-Coaching can save quite a lot of money on you maintenance bill.

Passenger comfort

The driver is just as important for the customer’s experience as are the seat comfort and the on-board facilities. Adding I-Coaching will increase your share of loyal and satisfied passengers.

A part of fleet management

Volvo’s Fleet Management is a set of connected services which let you know the status of your operation and the health of your fleet. Taking action based on real-life data can dramatically reduce fuel consumption and therefore save a lot of money each month – not to mention the effect on an entire fleet over its lifetime.

Adding zones to I-Coaching

Volvo Coaching Zones is an added service to, and a refinement of, Volvo I-Coaching. By defining coaching zones you can fine-tune the feedback to your drivers and help them take extra care on demanding road stretches.
