Fuel is one of the largest operational expenses for companies that rely on vehicle fleets to conduct their business. Consequently, fuel efficiency is crucial for maximising business profits. To determine the fuel consumption efficiency of your fleet, you need a GPS-based fleet management system. Cartrack’s technology offers a fuel efficiency solution with a return on investment (ROI) of up to 3x! Here is how it works.
1. Vehicle Fuel Efficiency Monitoring
Cartrack GPS trackers allow you to monitor how your vehicles are utilised in daily operations. One factor affecting fuel consumption is idling—when the engine remains running while the vehicle is stationary. The Cartrack GPS device sends a notification whenever it detects the vehicle idling for at least 15 minutes; however, you can request a different idling tolerance duration from the Cartrack team.
The Cartrack GPS Tracker also detects speeding, whether the driver exceeds the speed limit of the road being traveled or a limit set by the fleet manager. Fuel consumption rises sharply at speeds above 80 km/h. Therefore, it is important to correct the behaviour of drivers who habitually speed. Reducing speed by 8–16 km/h can improve fuel efficiency by 7–14%.
2. Data Analysis and Fuel Reports
The fuel monitoring sensor on the Cartrack GPS Tracker allows you to view the fuel tank status of your entire fleet at any time. You will also gain data-driven insights from Fuel Refill, Fuel Efficiency, and Fuel Consumption Graph reports. These reports enable you to track fuel theft and verify fuel purchase claims. Furthermore, if you add the MiFLEET feature, the Cartrack system will automatically help verify fuel purchase receipts.
3. Efficient Route Planning
Using Cartrack’s Fleet Web platform, you can select the most efficient route based on vehicle trip history. You can also set up automated notifications regarding route progress—such as route start, route completion, route deviation, route cancellation due to excessive deviation, and slow progress. For routes traveled daily, you can schedule them to repeat at specific intervals. By planning efficient routes and preventing excessive deviations, your vehicle operations become more fuel-efficient.
4. Vehicle Service Scheduling
A vehicle's condition resulting from poor maintenance—such as worn or under-inflated tires, clogged air filters, and low-quality engine oil—is a key factor contributing to increased fuel consumption. The Reminders feature in Cartrack’s Fleet Web platform makes it easier to ensure your vehicles remain in good condition, especially for those managing large fleets. You can set up automated vehicle service schedules based on mileage (data linked directly to Cartrack GPS Tracker odometer readings), time intervals, and operational duration.
