THE LOWEST
EMISSION LEVELS
IN EUROPE.
For the third year running, JATO, the
world leader in automotive advisory and
research services, rewards Fiat Automobiles’ low emission levels.
But there’s more: for the first year, this
record is also held - as a group - by Fiat
Group Automobiles.
Significant records, built on highly-innovative technologies characterised by great
commitment to raising awareness for a
more attentive and more responsible
use of cars.
To help its customers improve the efficiency of their fuel consumption and
their driving awareness, Fiat has developed eco:Drive.
It is a user-friendly software application
- which, using the on-board Blue&Me™
system, allows a reduction in CO2 emissions and costs by up to 15% by constantly monitoring quality of driving.

AND AVAILABLE NOW...
ECO:DRIVE FLEET.
For fleet customers, a special application
of eco:Drive is available: eco:Drive Fleet.
eco:Drive Fleet collects all the eco:Drive
data of each individual Fiat vehicle in the
fleet in a single, extremely intuitive panel
and makes it possible to analyse them at
a glance.
Fleet managers can aggregate the data as
they see fit, easily displaying trends and
forecasts for the vehicles, in order to verify and plan the improvement of their
efficiency.

FLEET MANAGEMENT
IS THUS EASIER.
For every vehicle, eco:Drive Fleet collects and organises a lot of
important information:
• average fuel consumption
• total mileage
• the mileage and days left on the lease contract
• eco:Index, i.e. the driving efficiency of the vehicle
• the amount of money saved thanks to eco:Drive
• the reduction in CO2 emissions obtained thanks to eco:Drive.
4
THE FLEET MANAGER CAN ALSO...
•create groups of drivers and/or vehicles, to monitor their progress more simply
•take part in the on-line community, eco:Ville, giving their company’s environmental
commitment greater visibility.
5
INDIVIDUAL AWARENESS
IMPROVEMENT FOR EVERYONE.
eco:Drive allocates each driver an
eco:Index and also gives them intelligent
step-by-step tutorials, which reproduce
the less efficient journeys and provide customised tips, just as though there were an
“eco driving” instructor available at
all times.
Drivers thus become the author of their
own improvement.
6
Environmental awareness and driving quality are also developed through healthy
competition among the drivers in the
fleet, thanks to eco:League, which compares the drivers and their data. The aim is
to achieve the highest eco:Index.
The whole company will be able to see
the competition results on a dedicated
eco:League web page.
eco:Drive Fleet will show every one of
your vehicles becoming more efficient,
allowing you to see the overall saving
of the fleet achieving significant figures
over the course of the year.
EFFICIENT DRIVING IN JUST A FEW SIMPLE STEPS.
7
ALL YOU NEED ARE FIAT VEHICLES FITTED WITH BLUE&ME™ TO START.
The Fleet Manager...
THE DRIVER...
1.Creates an account for his/her company/fleet on www.fiatfleet.com/ecodrive quickly and free of charge
2.Invites drivers of Fiat vehicles fitted with Blue&Me™ to join the
programme (if possible, inviting them individually: they will receive an e-mail with all the instructions)
3.Enters some general details about his/her fleet
4.On the panel, adds new drivers, creates groups, etc.
5.After a few days, they can start assessing the results and forecasts, aggregating data as necessary.
1.Downloads the eco:Drive application free of charge onto their
computer from www.fiat.com/ecodrive and inserts any USB
storage device into the Blue&Me™ port of the Fiat vehicle.
2.All the information about their driving style - acceleration,
gear changes, speed - is saved automatically.
3.They then insert the storage device into their computer. The information is uploaded to the eco:Drive application, which converts the data into figures and useful information, such as the
mileage, the CO2 emissions and the amount of money saved.
4.The general performance information is brought together in
eco:Drive Fleet.
ECO:DRIVE ON BOARD.
Installing eco:Drive in the car
•requires only Blue&Me™, (download
updated version HERE) and no additional hardware
• does not entail any risks
• does not require any technical assistance
• takes just a few seconds...
...following these simple step-by-step
instructions.
8
1.Make sure that the car’s clock displays
the correct time and date. eco:Drive
needs this information as a point of
reference.
2.Insert the storage device to be used
for eco:Drive into the USB port of the
Blue&Me™.
3.Turn the ignition key without starting
the engine. eco:Drive will automatically
be installed and the on-board display
will show the message «UPDATE COMPLETED». Press the “SRC/OK” button on
the steering wheel controls.
9
4.Remove the USB storage device.
5.Start the engine. After a few seconds,
the on-board display will show the message “ECODRIVE ON”. eco:Drive is ready
to go.
6.Insert the USB storage device back into
the car to start recording travel data. At
this stage, the driver must not modify his
or her driving habits: eco:Drive needs to
understand how he or she normally drives in order to help him or her improve.
7.When the engine has stopped, wait
between four and five seconds and then
remove the USB storage device. The travel data has been recorded and the driver can now insert the storage device in
his or her computer.
8.Repeat for at least 5 days, in order to
collect a significant series of journeys
and driving behaviours.
FAQ
Wouldn’t standard “black boxes” be
enough to collect the travel details?
For a start, the data collected by eco:Drive
via Blue&Me™ is much more accurate and
reliable, since it is obtained through dialogue with the engine control unit. What’s
more, eco:Drive provides extremely clear
and straightforward information, which is
easy to process using eco:Drive Fleet.
Also, there’s the driving quality assessment
(eco:Index), the tutorials, and eco:Ville.
...and don’t forget that downloading
eco:Drive is free!
10
Does the fleet manager need to install anything on their PC?
That’s another advantage: there is no
need to install anything at all.
The fleet manager can see and manage
the updated data of their own fleet simply by logging on to eco:Drive Fleet from
any computer connected to the Internet.
And what about drivers?
They need to download the eco:Drive application from the website.
It’s an Adobe Air application, which can
be installed on both Mac and PC without
any risk.
In the event of any installation problems,
please refer to your IT department or
write to [email protected].
11
How often do you need to download
the data?
The storage devices can store data for several months, but to keep them up-to-date,
it is advisable to download them once a
week.
Can I add new drivers to my fleet at
any time?
Yes, it’s very easy.
Simply invite them on the “Drivers” panel
of eco:Drive Fleet.
Alternatively, you can always keep an invitation e-mail at the ready and forward
it to the new driver directly from your PC,
even without accessing the panel.
I don’t have any Fiat vehicles in my
fleet (yet): can I still test the dashboard of eco:Drive Fleet?
Yes.
You can discuss this with a Fiat Corporate
Fleet Solutions account manager (find
him HERE): you could try out a Fiat car fitted with Blue&Me to see the benefits of
eco:Drive Fleet for yourself and organising an eco:League.
Can I use eco:Drive Fleet if there
are also cars in my fleet from other
brands?
Yes.
eco:Drive Fleet helps forecast the savings
achieved by vehicles enabled for eco:Drive
for the rest of your fleet, allowing you to
understand the economic and ecological
effect of responsible driving.
12
Are the details of my company and
my drivers secure?
Of course: the data is processed in full
compliance with privacy laws.
Can different users drive the same
car?
Yes, but every driver will need their own
storage device, in order to keep the data
collected separate.
On which Fiat cars can I use
eco:Drive?
500, Grande Punto, Punto Evo, Bravo,
Qubo, Croma, Doblò.
And also on the following Fiat Professional vehicles: Grande Punto Van, Punto Evo
Van, Bravo Van and Fiorino.
13
Can I give the same USB storage device to different drivers in my fleet?
Yes.
If they use the same USB storage device
but drive different cars then there is no
problem because the data will remain
separate.
If on the other hand several people use
the same storage device on the same car,
the first person to download the storage
device onto the computer will find everyone’s data on it.
For convenience, we suggest that each
driver has their own personal storage device.

Does the USB storage device always
have to be inserted into the car while
driving?
It is advisable. This way, all the travel data
for that driver is recorded and there is no
risk of confusing it with that of others.
The car can in any case save up to eight
hours of travel data without the USB storage device being inserted. This data will
then be saved onto the first storage device which is inserted. After eight hours,
the oldest data will be deleted.
How can eco:Drive be turned off?
If you don’t wish to record the data regarding a specific trip, simply turn off
eco:Drive from the car’s Blue&Me™ menu.
It can be turned back on later whenever
you want.
