Fuel and Emission Saving Technologies
Eco-Map.
Fuel and Emissions, and finding a cost effective, reliable and safe way of reducing them is on everybody’s list of priorities.
GreenLane Telematics has brought together and optimised several proven technologies into a unique solution to give you the ability to monitor and then reduce CO2, NOX and fuel consumption.
We call this ECO-Map and it’s available for cars, vans, Large Goods Vehicles and many other commercial diesel engines.
All modern vehicles use sophisticated Electronic Control Units (or ECU) that manage every aspect of the operation of the vehicle. The ECU that controls the engine determines the conditions the vehicle is operating under at any time (temperature, load, fuel condition and more) and then attempts to optimise the various aspects of the internal combustion process to meet those conditions. Naturally, to save costs, manufacturers use a general programme for their vehicles not especially tuned to the requirements of the UK and definitely not tuned to the specific uses of your vehicles.
In Stage 1, GreenLane install an advanced Telemetry Eco-Track system that records and reports your vehicle’s fuel use and driving style. Without the actual data you can’t set realistic reduction targets.
At this stage we help you look at driver styles, harsh revving, hard breaking, excessive speed, vehicle optimisation and route management. These interventions will result in a substantial saving.
Following these behavioural and operations changes you will see a measurable return on the investment, and then we move to Stage 2. This involves re-programming (usually called re-mapping) the vehicle’s ECU to allow it to operate in a range more suited to the use of the vehicle.
Re-programming of the ECU can provide a better optimization of the engine and fuel usage. In addition, the reprogramming can include specific characteristics to ensure a lowering of the CO2 and NOX produced by the vehicle.
The key features are increased power and reduced Fuel costs.

Greenlane Telematics Awarded Carbon Verification Certification.
We have been working closely with the Diamond Standard Carbon Exchanges Ltd over the past year towards achieving carbon verification of our EcoTrak and EcoTrak+ solutions. Verification means that our customers using EcoTrak and EcoTrak+ do so in the knowledge that the fuel and carbon savings they make have been independently verified to the highest standards to be real, accurate and repeatable. This verification is approved by Complete Integrated Certification Services (CICS), who is a key player in the regulated emissions trading arena.
Greelane Telematics is the one of the first organisation to receive a Diamond Standard Verification.
