Tranzaura will soon add further innovations to its fleet maintenance app. CEO Shane Mann says those will help bus operators to optimise driver management and sustainability impact including via language translations, digital incident reporting, and driver duty cards.
Full details will be revealed at Euro Bus Expo, to be held on 12-14 November at the NEC Birmingham. The further advancement will come against a background of over 11,000 buses in England – or 36% of the market – now captured by the Tranzaura app daily.
The app supports operators by:
- Digitising and streamlining daily vehicle inspection checks and maintenance processes
- Improving reliability, safety and sustainability
- Eliminating paper use in daily pre-service checks and handling potential defects throughout the workday
- Enhancing control over unplanned maintenance, reducing defect reporting times, and engaging end-users more effectively.
Bus drivers check an average of 130,000 items daily, or almost four million per month. Around 65% of Transport for London contracted buses are captured by the Tranzaura app.
Other customers include Transdev Blazefield, where Operations Director Vitto Pizzuti notes that it is use on over 500 buses across Lancashire and Yorkshire. Data is gathered about real-time compliance and unplanned maintenance from more than 1,000 drivers.
“Transdev has wholeheartedly embraced the technology and actively involved both drivers and engineers from day one, with 90% of drivers rating it as positive,” says Mr Pizzuti.
“We have also embarked on our next step of digital transformation with Tranzaura around driver incident reporting and are helping it to pioneer language translations as the next big step in driver engagement.”
Mr Mann adds that the supplier is proud to support operators “to not only excel in safety, reliability and efficiency, but to also deliver more value to customers.” While he notes that the further innovations are in hand, “our lips are sealed until Euro Bus Expo in November!”
