CNG auto-rickshaws are an integral part of urban transport in Bangladesh. These three-wheelers ferry thousands of passengers over busy city roads each day, providing critical support to local mobility and livelihoods. Yet with an entire fleet of CNG autos, any transport-centric business has issues to tackle — fuel efficiency, abuse, well-being and safety, and car monitoring, to name a few.
That’s where GPS tracking steps in as a powerful solution. Getting a GPS tracker such as iTracker can drastically enhance your business, whether you own a handful of autos or run a fully-fledged rental service.
Why GPS Tracking Matters for CNG Autos
In contrast to private cars or even corporate fleets, CNGs are on the road 24/7, picking up passengers, stopping frequently, and traversing crowded streets. What you (as the business owner/operator) need to know:
- Where your vehicles are
- How they’re being used
- If they’re making profitable trips
- Whether your drivers are being honest
Traditional management methods fall short here. But iTracker, a GPS solution by IFAD Information & Technology Ltd. (a sister concern of IFAD Group, Bangladesh), gives you real-time visibility over your CNG fleet.
Benefits of GPS Tracking for Your CNG Auto Business
So, here is how a GPS tracker such as iTracker can help you with the management and growth of your CNG business!
1. Real-Time Location Monitoring
You can track each auto in real time at any moment. This is especially useful when:
- You need to check if a vehicle is active
- You want to verify if the driver is sticking to the right areas.
- You suspect unauthorized usage.
Instead of making calls or relying on word of mouth, iTracker gives you live updates via an app or web dashboard.
2. Route History and Trip Analysis
Do you know how many kilometers your autos travel each day? Or how many trips does each driver complete?
With trip history logs, you can:
- Track daily routes
- See which areas get the most rides.
- Identify idle times or non-productive routes.
Over time, this data helps you optimize routes for better earning potential and lower fuel usage.
3. Driver Behavior Monitoring
Not all drivers operate with the same level of care and responsibility. GPS tracking gives you insights into:
- Harsh braking or sudden acceleration
- Excessive idle times
- Over-speeding habits
By analyzing this behavior, you can reward good drivers, train the ones who need improvement, and ensure passenger safety.
4. Fuel Efficiency and Cost Control
CNG prices fluctuate, and fuel wastage eats into your profits. With iTracker, you can:
- Reduce unnecessary detours
- Limit engine idle time
- Optimize routes for fuel savings.
When every liter of CNG counts, a GPS tracker becomes your cost-saving partner.
5. Theft Prevention and Recovery
Vehicle theft is a major concern, especially when CNGs are parked overnight or used by multiple drivers. With iTracker’s anti-theft features, you get:
- Real-time alerts if the vehicle moves unexpectedly
- Engine cut-off options (for advanced systems)
- Location tracking for quick recovery
In the unfortunate event of theft, GPS increases your chances of recovering the auto quickly and safely.
6. Geofencing for Area Control
You may want your CNGs to operate only within specific zones, like a particular neighborhood, city zone, or hub.
With geofencing, you can:
- Set virtual boundaries
- Get alerts when a vehicle exits its designated area.
- Ensure drivers follow your business guidelines.
This helps you manage your fleet more professionally, especially in cities like Dhaka or Chattogram.
7. Maintenance Alerts and Vehicle Health
A poorly maintained vehicle can cost you more in repairs and downtime. GPS tracking can help you stay ahead of:
- Engine servicing schedules
- Oil change reminders
- Brake and tire check alerts
With maintenance reminders, your autos remain roadworthy and profitable.
8. Improve Rental or Sharing Model
If you rent out your CNG autos to different drivers, trust and transparency are key.
iTracker helps you:
- Monitor usage per shift
- Prevent after-hours driving
- Verify trip counts for accurate rent calculation.
This improves fairness and builds better relationships with your drivers.
9. Customer Confidence and Safety
If your CNGs are used for app-based ridesharing or private contracts (e.g., school or office pickups), passengers want safety and transparency.
GPS tracking allows:
- Location sharing with customers or guardians
- Driver monitoring
- Emergency response in case of breakdowns or accidents
This helps build a trusted and customer-friendly brand image.
