About Bienenlieb and Their Fleet Challenges
Bienenlieb is dedicated to protecting bee populations through educational programs and community projects in Salzburg. Managing a fleet of five vehicles, including two electric vehicles and an electric cargo bike, Bienenlieb found it challenging to track their locations and manage fuel efficiency while keeping their commitment to sustainability.
“Every operational decision, from equipment to our fleet, prioritizes sustainability. Vimcar Fleet Geo has allowed us to maintain this focus by helping us control emissions and manage our fleet efficiently.”
— Daniel Pfeifenberger, CEO of Bienenlieb
