Tatneft implements Russia’s largest transport monitoring system

The Russian Navigation Technologies company has equipped with the Glonass/Gps Auto Tracker monitoring system 5.2 thousand vehicles owned by the Tatneft oil producer. Introducing satellite monitoring has had a positive effect on company’s highlights. A decrease in non-productive mileage has been 26 percent, an equivalent to a 4,760-rouble economy a month per vehicle.

The Tatneft geoinformation systems department chief Yuri Meleshkin says using the system has resolved the issue of collecting data on a vehicle’s mileage and location, as well as on diversions from the set itinerary and speeding. The company’s auto fleet has been provided with a control complex, the AutoTracker system has been integrated with the waybill issuance system. It has helped to simplify control over writing off fuel and to improve the drivers’s discipline.

The Russian Navigation Technologies commercial director Oleg Afanaskin called Tatneft’s project the largest implementation of transport monitoring systems in Russia.

Tatneft spent 150 million roubles on the project, winning an economic effect of 250 million roubles by the end of 2008.
