Industry-first technology drives up vehicle efficiency

Emergency services fleet managers looking to improve vehicle efficiency and safety will benefit from a novel performance monitoring system.
ACETECH is a fully integrated vehicle performance monitoring and control system for ambulances and other emergency response vehicles which provides on-board intelligence to help reduce operating and fuel costs.
Jon Ellis, managing director at Ferno, said: “For more than 40 years, our customers have relied on Ferno for best-in-class professional emergency and healthcare products that increase efficiency and enhance safety for patients and personnel.
“ACETECH’s technology is a natural fit for our product line. It’s the only fully-integrated efficiency optimisation solution. The savings in fuel costs alone are considerable. But when combined with increased personnel productivity, the return on investment for fleet owners is significant. We are extremely pleased to be able to offer this industry-first technology to our customers.”
The ACETECH system is the first of its kind for UK emergency vehicles and inter-connects four key modules that offer customised monitoring and control of all vehicle electronics - driving, driver restraint systems, GPS-based monitoring and control of fleet vehicle assets in the field.
ACETECH also integrates Radio Frequency Identification-based tracking and security for all vehicle equipment assets as well as ECO-Run monitoring and control of fuel consumption idling. The system is available for new vehicle builds and can be easily retrofitted on older vehicles.
The full system provides constant, real-time, actionable information on a wide range of data points including vehicle status and location; equipment location; driving behavior with event status and duration; occupant restraint status, engine status and fuel consumption. Using this data as a whole allows emergency fleet managers to take full control of asset placement in the field, increase emergency vehicle driver and occupant safety, and reduce operational and fuel costs.
