As such, Konectbus represents a leading independent bus operator adopting the same fuel-saving and efficiency-gaining solution as the industry's largest players, such as Go-Ahead Group, which recently commissioned 3,500 identical systems.
"Escalating fuel prices prompted us to review our performance and look for innovative ways in which to save fuel," comments Konectbus Managing Director Stephen Challis. "We compared a number of other systems on the market, but quite frankly didn't get anywhere with them. The MiX Telematics team, on the other hand, showed great interest in what we were looking to achieve. They worked with us and won our business on the basis of being able to provide a cost-effective solution ideally suited to our needs.
"Furthermore, having the RIBAS display on board to assist our drivers gives me great confidence that we will see an immediate reduction in our fuel consumption, followed by a rapid return on our investment.” |

As MiX Telematics' premium on-board computer, the FM Communicator offers vehicle tracking, communications and the ability to interface with satellite navigation systems. Accompanying the FM Communicator is a choice of reporting software; FM Pro for PC-based analysis, or FM-Web for internet-based access.
The RIBAS display, which operates in conjunction with FM Communicator and is offered as an optional extra, is a dashboard-mounted array of five LEDs which illuminate whenever the driver exceeds a pre-programmed vehicle parameter. Each LED is positioned alongside its corresponding letter, where:
R = over Revving
I = excessive Idling
B = harsh Braking
A = harsh Acceleration
S = over Speeding
