In the ECO performance module, ECO coaches evaluate the behavior of drivers and their impact on the fleet performance according to the defined KPIs (Key Performance Indicators). Based on the evaluation, the drivers are assigned grades.
One driver is assigned to only one coach. A coach cannot view drivers assigned to other coaches and profiles.
Getting started in ECO Performance #
You can view the historical data and performance trends for all the trips completed by drivers over a selected period.
Add drivers and allow data usage #
To view the ECO Performance page, at least one driver must first be added on the Drivers tab, and data consent must be provided as per GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) compliance. If no drivers are added, you will be directed to the Drivers page after you click the ECO performance module. For more information, see how to add a driver.
View ECO Performance Overview #
From the left navigation pane, click ECO performance 
. The Eco performance page is displayed.
Near real-time refresh of ECO data
Access to near real-time ECO data enables coaches to provide timely feedback to drivers, allowing them to initiate preventive measures or corrective actions when needed. The latest trip completed can be evaluated so that drivers can promptly adapt their behavior.
Therefore, the data for trips completed by a driver who is assigned to a coach (specific to the profiles created by the coach) and recorded between 8:00 AM CET and 8:00 PM CET will be refreshed on an hourly basis. For example, for a trip completed at 4:50 PM CET, the coach and the driver will be able to view the updated ECO data after the hourly refresh, which is scheduled at 5:00 PM CET.
In the image shown above, the data was last updated at 06:47 PM CET.
The hourly refresh occurs from 8:00 AM CET to 8:00 PM CET. This time will vary based on the connected user’s locale settings.
The last updated time or the near-refresh data will only be displayed for the current (today’s) date. Historical data (up to the day before) can be accessed at any time.
Implications
- The ECO data displayed will nearly be in real-time.
- The scores and KPIs will be consistent across both the web (dashboard) app for the coach and the SCALAR Cargo app, with the same refresh rate applied to both.
- All grades are calculated for drivers who have completed a trip during the refresh rate hours.
- If a driver has started an ECO trip, but has not completed it yet, the status will indicate that they are currently driving, and no grade will be displayed.
- If a driver starts and completes an ECO trip before 8:00 AM CET, the ECO score will be calculated and displayed for that day.
- If the ECO trip starts or ends after 8:00 PM CET, the ECO scores will be calculated and displayed the next day at 8:00 AM CET.
- The trip details of the day show the grade and score values for the last completed trip. They do not include a comparison to the fleet average at that time.
- The cumulative average grade of the driver for all the KPIs is available on the Average scorecard, and the average grade for a specific KPI is available on the respective KPI card.
- Select the specific KPI cards available at the top of the ECO performance page to view their graphical representation on the KPI visualization graph.
- Hover the cursor at any point on the graph to view the KPI information for a specific time. Hover at any point on the Y axis to view the accumulated data for the entire feed on the page.
- Hover over a specific KPI card to view information about the current performance of a driver as compared to the previous period.

Available KPIs #
| KPI | Description |
| Coasting | Distance driven without accelerator pressed. Criteria for coasting are: Driving (speed > 2 km/hour) Brake switch off (no braking detected) Clutch pedal not pressed (0%) Accelerator pedal not pressed (0%) No fuel consumption (< 2 l/hour) Cruise control off |
| Cruise control | Using cruise control in the vehicles to drive at a constant speed |
| Fuel consumed | Fuel consumed by the vehicle |
| Idling | Vehicle is idling when RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) > 0, speed < 2 km/h and PTO is off |
| Overspeeding | Driving over the recommended speed limit |
| Harsh braking | The vehicle decelerates too suddenly. The configured harsh braking threshold exceeded (default: 1,5 m/s²) |
| High RPM | Maximum allowed RPM for an engine |
The performance score of a driver is evaluated on the average score of the KPIs. A grade is assigned based on this score.
INFORMATION: Grades are assigned according to the following score range.
| Grade | Score |
| A | 4 to 5 |
| B | 3 to 4 |
| C | 2 to 3 |
| D | 1 to 2 |
| E | 0 to 1 |
