Case Study: Conrail achieves improved fleet efficiency and safety with Trimble Fleet Management

Fleet Management Helps Keep Conrail’s Road Fleet On Track

Conrail, a rail operator that maintains about 1,200 miles of track in Philadelphia, New Jersey and Detroit, depends on a large road fleet of pickups, vans and service trucks to keep trains running. The company faced challenges with limited real-time visibility, excessive idling, unauthorized vehicle use and rising fuel and operational costs, so it needed a reliable GPS-based fleet management solution.

Conrail implemented Trimble Fleet Management, a cloud-based GPS system that provides real-time location, exception alerts and on-demand reports for supervisors. The solution reduced unnecessary idling, improved driver safety and communication, optimized workflows through data-driven reporting and decentralized fleet oversight to regional supervisors—delivering measurable productivity gains and cost savings and paying for itself over time.
