Private Mode for personal use of work vehicles

When team members use a work vehicle for their own trips, you need to respect their privacy, and in some states that's the law. With Private Mode, a driver marks a personal trip private on the Ehubo2 screen, so its location and driving behaviour aren't tracked.

Benefits

How Private Mode helps you and your drivers

Workplace privacy laws protect people who use a work vehicle for their own trips, and they differ from state to state. Private Mode helps you meet them and avoid fines, while you keep vehicle telematics for every work trip. It works with the fringe benefits tax (FBT) logbook too.

Privacy for your drivers

Drivers are happier when their days off are their own, and that makes a fleet manager's job a lot easier.

Works with the FBT logbook

Using the FBT logbook as well? Then marking a trip private does both jobs: it's logged as private, and its location can't be viewed in MyEROAD.

Helps you meet state privacy laws

Some states say an employer can't track someone in a work vehicle outside work hours. Private Mode was designed to help you meet that. The obligation still sits with you, though, so check what applies in each state you operate in.

Features

How Private Mode works

Switch it on from the Ehubo2 screen

When the work vehicle is theirs for weekends and holidays, the driver switches Private Mode on before heading off, for that one trip or for the whole day.

  • Runs on the in-cab Ehubo2, so there's no extra hardware to fit
  • Included with Ehubo2 Connected, Safe Driver and Safe Driver Plus

What your team sees in MyEROAD

While Private Mode is on, your team won't find a route in MyEROAD, or anything on how the vehicle was driven.

Connected platform

It works with

MyEROAD

Work trips show as usual. The location of a private trip doesn't.

Your drivers

It's their switch, so they're not left wondering whether anyone's watching.

Your vehicle policy

Private Mode sits alongside your rules for private use, not in place of them.
