Reduce annual fuel consumption by up to 20% while adding to air quality, health and environmental benefits.
Combined with our dedication to improve employee safety, AC Global is committed to provide green solutions to address industries need to significantly reduce our carbon footprint. Transportation is the leading contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and also the single largest source of personal GHG emissions. Although businesses cannot operate without vehicle usage, they are able reduce emissions by monitoring and measuring their fleet operations.
Municipal and provincial vehicle fleet managers are striving to both significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions in order to meet their committed carbon reduction targets and reduce fuel consumption. By focusing on reduced vehicle idling, using a solution like AC Global’s Safetivity GPS Tracking can save up to 20% on fuel costs while proving reductions in greenhouses gases.
AC Global’s Safetivity GPS Tracking sees sustainability as an opportunity for businesses to save money and help the environment at the same time. In addition to the business financial and operational benefits, businesses can improve their environmental stewardship of the earth’s resources.

AC Global's basic modem is a cellular-based automatic vehicle location (AVL) system which uses GPS satellites providing the ability to instantaneously pinpoint the location of a vehicle and make more effective use of fleet resources.
When Time Warner Cable of Central Texas implemented a terrestrial-based AVL system, they found that they not only reduced travel times and technician stress, they also reduced fuel costs. "Our new GPS solution has allowed us to reduce companywide engine-idle times by more than 25%," according to Doug Bender, workforce management supervisor. "With gasoline hitting $4 a gallon, this decrease in fuel consumption saves us tens of thousands of dollars each month."
One drawback of using cellular-based equipment is the loss of communication when vehicles travel through an area without cellular coverage or during periods of network congestion. In either of these cases, reconnection to the network does occur once the asset re-enters areas with coverage or the network recovers, but during the "black-out" periods, critical information is delayed or lost.
Satellite-based equipment offers all the functional benefits of cellular-based equipment, with the advantage of uniform and reliable coverage even in remote areas. Our deluxe modem provides the ability to communicate over both cellular and satellite networks for highly reliable and cost-effective tracking and remote control of mobile assets.
AC Global is aware that companies require quick returns on their investment in technology. An "on-demand" GPS service such as our web based tracking system provides access to fleet information over the internet; without the extra costs of setting up any infrastructure, such as purchasing a computer server or expensive software. As another advantage, different secure access can be made available to managers, supervisors, dispatchers and/or any other authorized staff member.
