Case Study: Dorset County Council achieves £108/vehicle fuel savings and a 34% reduction in harsh driving with MICHELIN Connected Fleet

Dorset Travel is miles ahead with Masternaut

Dorset County Council’s Dorset Travel operation faced budget cuts and needed to reduce fleet costs while improving safety and service. MICHELIN Connected Fleet deployed Masternaut telematics devices and the Masternaut Connect platform, supported by Professional Services, to monitor nearly 100 passenger transport vehicles and provide real‑time data on fuel use, driver behaviour, routing and overtime.

MICHELIN Connected Fleet’s installation and analysis produced measurable gains: £108 saved per vehicle per year, a 6.5% increase in mpg, an 18% reduction in idling and a 34% drop in harsh driving events, along with reduced overtime, improved scheduling, targeted driver training and clear evidence to respond to speeding complaints—improving efficiency and fleet safety for Dorset County Council.
