If Power Take-Off (PTO)/AUX and Idle Time have been set up, you can view additional PTO/AUX and Idle Time fields in the Fuel & Energy report.
PTO/AUX & Idle Time enable you to see which vehicles or drivers are idling more or less than others to identify coaching opportunities.
Note
The Aux Input Type must be configured for vehicles for PTO time to be correctly identified.
Power Take-Off (PTO): Indicates that auxiliary equipment is being powered by the vehicle’s engine. This is used to power equipment like a boom on a utility truck.
Idle: When the engine is running but the vehicle is not moving.
