Zonar's Emissions Check™ Streamlines Compliance and Boosts Fleet Efficiency

Zonar, the leader in commercial vehicle fleet health and safety, has announced the general availability of its latest innovation, Zonar Emissions Check™. This specialized fleet management tool is designed to help commercial fleets ensure emissions compliance and optimize operations through real-time monitoring and data integration.

Certified by California Air Resources Board's (CARB) Clean Truck Check (CTC) program, Zonar Emissions Check™ eliminates the need for drivers to be rerouted to testing facilities, simplifying fleet operations. The tool enables on-route compliance, reduces downtime, and lowers third-party operational costs.

Key features and benefits of Zonar Emissions Check™ include:

  • Real-time Emissions Monitoring: The tool continuously tracks vehicle emissions data through telematics hardware, enabling fleets to monitor diesel particulate filter (DPF) status and other emissions-related components in real-time.
  • Integrated Compliance Management: It helps fleets maintain compliance with regulatory emissions standards by providing alerts and diagnostic data on emissions system performance, preventing violations and costly fines.
  • Actionable Insights via a Single Platform: Integrated into Zonar’s broader telematics and fleet management system, the emissions check data is consolidated with driver behavior and vehicle performance data on one dashboard. This assists fleet managers in making data-driven operational decisions without toggling through multiple systems.
  • Improved Fleet Efficiency and Uptime: By proactively identifying emissions system faults or maintenance needs, the tool helps reduce downtime and avoid unplanned service interruptions, ultimately lowering operational costs.
  • Customizable Reporting and Alerts: The system offers personalized reports and live alerts on emissions faults alongside other KPIs such as fuel usage, route efficiency, and safety events, supporting continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Seamless Integration with Third-Party Data: Built on a flexible platform with open APIs, Zonar Emissions Check™ can incorporate third-party data sources and AI modules, enhancing customization and analytics capabilities for fleet operators.

When paired with Zonar's FaultIQ, Emissions Check offers diagnostic and predictive fault code reporting. This allows customers to receive notifications of emission faults to fix before potential testing failures. When used together, Emissions Check and FaultIQ provide a full end-to-end fleet health and safety solution.

Emissions Check streamlines the process by only sharing data directly with CARB, when required. Zonar uses its V4 TCU to conduct emissions scans on vehicles that meet CARB's CTC requirements.

Greg Colvin, senior director of solutions engineering at Zonar, expressed excitement about the market launch of Emissions Check, stating, "We're proud to offer a solution that not only helps fleets meet regulatory compliance but also enhances their operational efficiency."

By aiding fleets in meeting regulatory compliance and long-term emissions and sustainability goals, Zonar Emissions Check™ supports fleets in maintaining environmental compliance while enhancing operational efficiency via integrated, real-time diagnostics and analytics within a unified fleet management platform.
