Case 1: Promoting Eco-Driving

Konica Minolta Business Solutions Japan Co., Ltd., a sales company of office equipment and solutions, has been implementing a vehicle operation management system for company-owned vehicles since fiscal 2009.
This system constantly gathers and stores data about the way company-owned cars are being used, such as the rate of sudden acceleration and deceleration, driving time, fuel consumption, and so on. For example, by checking the data for fuel consumption or sustained idling, drivers of company vehicles can be encouraged to implement eco-driving more rigorously to improve mileage and reduce the environmental impact of vehicle use.
