EVIR: Electronic Vehicle Inspection Report


For Pre- and Post-Trip Inspections

EVIR simplifies the entire pre- and post-trip inspection process. It is easy to use, captures powerful new fleet performance data and speeds vehicle repairs. EVIR is the only verified visual inspection system available. It complies with all DOT-mandated pre- and post-trip vehicle inspection regulations, as well as OSHA and MSHA equipment inspection requirements.

The Only One of its Kind

Zonar's EVIR system uses the innovative Tag Once, Inspect Regularly, Know Always approach to capture, transmit and record inspection, compliance and maintenance data. Required pre- and post-trip inspections are automated and verified using Zonar's patented technology. Zonar has eliminated the errors, inefficiencies and risks inherent in all other approaches.

New Level of Safety, Compliance and Performance

Our customers tell us EVIR inspections deliver gains that benefit the entire fleet. EVIR creates a new kind of safety mindset throughout your fleet. It enables repair-before-failure strategies that lower operating costs and increase compliance. Since EVIR events are time and date stamped, a totally new kind of data gives fleets a totally new performance edge.

As Simple as Tag, Inspect and Transmit

Pre- and post-trip vehicle inspections are mandated by state and federal law. Traditionally, these inspections have been done with pen and paper, often resulting in incomplete recording, reporting and tracking of vehicle conditions. Zonar has changed all that with its innovative EVIR inspection system.
  • Tag - Zonar's radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags are placed, just once, on the vehicle in critical inspection "zones."  These weather tough tags contain information about their location on the vehicle, the components to be inspected and the vehicle's identity.
  • Inspect - Using Zonar's 2010 inspection tool, drivers conduct their vehicle inspections by placing the reader within inches of each tag and indicating the condition of the components within the zone with one-handed, push-button responses.  When a defect is discovered, the driver selects a description from a pre-defined list and indicates if the vehicle is safe to operate.
  • Transmit - When the inspection is complete, drivers place the Zonar 2010 into the vehicle mount. The information is then transmitted to a secure database that can be readily accessed from any web-browser via Zonar's Ground Traffic Control application.


Fleets Gain Efficiencies and Savings

EVIR transforms the old, paper-based inspection process into a real-time data stream feeding Zonar's Ground Traffic Control software that provides the storage, reporting and alerting capabilities you need.  Never before has it been this easy to manage vehicle maintenance, driver performance and regulatory compliance - automatically.

Fleets Perform Better Across the Board

EVIR automates the entire pre- and post-trip inspection process, with unprecedented ease and accuracy, so the entire fleet benefits.  You'll notice the difference right from the start.
  • DRIVERS - Complete pre- and post-trip inspections thoroughly and accurately because it is easy with EVIR.
  • TECHNICIANS - Speed needed repairs because the maintenance ticket is available in seconds, not days.
  • OPERATIONS - Communicate better because the information provided is accurate, legible and timely.
  • SUPERVISORS - Evaluate vehicle and driver performance accurately with access to more facts.
  • RISK MANAGERS - Ensure regulatory compliance because records are complete and easily accessible.
  • ACCOUNTANTS - Support time keeping and payroll with automatically captured in and out inspection times.
  • IT MANAGERS - Save valuable resources, with no demands on existing IT infrastructure or personnel.
  • EXECUTIVES - Take care of business because good inspections lower liability and enhance performance.

Best Practice for Fleet Operations

The benefits resulting from EVIR's accurate and timely handling of pre- and post-trip inspection information are impressive. Our customers tell us that is why they describe EVIR from Zonar as the new best practice for fleets, large and small.

Measurable Improvements in Underserved Areas

Zonar provides an entirely new way for fleets to experience measurable savings in the underserved areas of vehicle maintenance, driver performance and regulatory compliance.  What was a pain to do manually has been changed into a gain through automation, with EVIR.
  • Operations - Streamlined in the areas of vehicle maintenance and driver performance.
  • Safety - Enhanced by detecting vehicle defects in the yard, instead of on the road.
  • Communications - Improved between driver, shop, dispatch and supervisor.
  • Behavior - Changed to a safety mindset, driving down unplanned incidents.
  • Performance - Increased by connecting drivers to vehicles, for the first time, for enhanced tracking.

Save Money Already Being Spent

Customers tell us the return on investment is a "no brainer" because more can be saved by implementing the EVIR system than what it costs.  Some specific savings customers report include:
  • Labor - Inspection time goes down by 50%.  EVIR time stamps help eliminate time-card padding.
  • Utilization - More on-road time and fewer in-yard delays by detecting and repairing defects faster.
  • Readiness - DOT audits and inspections are as straightforward as presenting standard EVIR reports.

All these savings really add-up and mean putting real money back into your pocket.  It's a safe bet to say you can't afford to wait any longer to experience this new way to save.
