6/14/2024

Witness firsthand how Transtone SA, a valued customer based in Belgium, has transformed their operations with Volvo CE's productivity services Connected Map and Performance Indicator.

Since 2004, Olivier Scutenaire and Dominique Lesage have managed Transtone SA, a company responsible for loading and transporting rock from the quarry face to the crusher. With Connected Map and Performance Indicator from Volvo CE they have transformed their operations, optimized efficiency, reduced fuel consumption, and enhanced safety on-site.

Olivier Scutenaire, General Manager, highlights the remarkable improvements in efficiency, fuel consumption, and safety that Volvo CE's services have brought to Transtone SA. He emphasizes how the services have facilitated a smoother flow of traffic, leading to enhanced production. With reduced idling times, there's a noticeable decrease in fuel consumption, significantly optimizing their operations.

The result is a better flow of traffic, and therefore of production. This has been a game changer, because the number of idlings decreases, which consequently also reduces the idling time and fuel consumption.
