Remeo is a Finnish company specializing in waste management and the circular economy. Remeo uses driving behavior monitoring to improve fuel efficiency and fleet data to optimize its scheduling and maintenance—all powered by the same technology on which FLEET.connect is built. Remeo is not a client of AllConnects: this is an international use case from our technology partner to demonstrate the capabilities of FLEET.connect.
"Having all the data easily accessible in the same software is a huge help in our day-to-day work."
About Remeo
Remeo is a Finnish company specializing in waste management and the circular economy. The entire company revolves around its fleet: its green trucks are on the road every day. Since 2018, Remeo has been using fleet management to drive its operations with data and improve fuel efficiency.
Development Manager Joonas Savolainen and fleet managers Isto and Neea explained to our technology partner how they go about it.
Fleet data as the basis for planning
Isto and Neea use the platform every day to track the vehicles' locations and monitor the drivers' driving behavior. In the event of damage reports or complaints, location data, routes, times, and speeds are immediately available.
"In general, fleet management accounts for 50% of resource planning, and our people make up the other half. At Remeo, the driver and the vehicle always go hand in hand. That’s why it’s really important for us to have the right number of vehicles, so we can avoid underutilizing them or constantly running out of them."
Live tracking
Where is each vehicle, and what is the driver doing while on the road?
Driving performance reports
Analyses by driver as a basis for coaching and discussions.
Claims Processing
Trip history and timestamps make it easy to verify reports.
Vehicle Inspections and Maintenance
Drivers perform their inspections in the app; supervisors use that information to schedule maintenance.
Remeo also uses the mileage data to calculate its carbon footprint.
Driving More Efficiently: Focusing on Coasting
The driving behavior monitoring system tracks, among other things, eco-speed, coasting, idling, and hard acceleration and braking. Remeo focused on coasting: driving without pressing the accelerator, so that the vehicle uses its momentum. The goal was a coasting percentage of 10%, which, according to Remeo, corresponds to approximately 10% less fuel consumption and emissions.
"In the long term, the expansion of the fleet will result in fewer repairs, and in this way we will also conserve natural resources."
For the drivers, it turned out to be a positive challenge. One of them noticed that driving more efficiently doesn't take any extra time, but it does save a lot of fuel:
"By obtaining the data and focusing on rollout, the refueling interval is now three days instead of two, while the work is still getting done just as efficiently."
The result
"Thanks to our fuel-efficient driving habits, we have saved the equivalent of the carbon dioxide emissions from heating 200 private homes per year."
According to Isto and Joonas, the platform is intuitive and easy to learn: with just some basic training, you can get started right away.

What Remeo does with fleet data, you can do too
With FLEET.connect, you can track driving behavior, maintenance, and fuel consumption all on one platform. We’d be happy to work with you to see what benefits more fuel-efficient driving could bring to your fleet.
