Most companies see a vehicle tracking system as a way to track the vehicle, but a vehicle tracking system can do much more than that these days. Saving fuel is often not the number one priority, but today it is becoming increasingly important. With fuel prices rising all the time, monitoring and analysing fuel consumption can be a very important saving.
Fleetassist with CANBUS coupling can easily provide insight into the fuel consumption per journey. This provides insight into whether the correct rates are being charged and whether a journey is not costing more than expected. In addition to showing consumption, you also get direct insight into the current fuel level of the vehicle. The larger the vehicle, the more money you can save!
What does idling cost for your fleet?
Idling is a common problem in any size vehicle fleet. Drivers sometimes leave the vehicle running unnecessarily, mainly to keep the temperature in the vehicle comfortable or purely for convenience. Unfortunately, the driver is not always aware of the cost of idling. All the reasons for leaving the vehicle running idle are actually unjustified. It used to be thought that it was better to let the car run hot, but on the contrary. This causes wear and tear on the block. It is also no longer necessary; modern engines heat up quickly.
Did you know that idling costs on average almost 4 litres per hour? With today's fuel prices, this costs 3.42 x €2.42 = €8.28 per hour! Do the math for a whole fleet. Any fleet with 2 or more cars deserves it Fleet management system returns automatically.
Below is an overview of the average fuel costs on 22-03-2022.
But what does this cost for a whole fleet? We have made an example calculation for idling for 4 different fleet sizes. For a fleet of 40 vehicles, limiting idling generates savings of over €100,000+. This is pure profit!

Fleetassist not only gives insight into fuel wastage
Most entrepreneurs and fleet managers know that it happens, but how do you control it? Through our portal, drivers are actively alerted to unnecessary idling. Our portal has a very handy and effective module with which triggers for the fleet can be set. This can be done in our portal, by e-mail and even by SMS!
In addition, various reports are possible and we are currently working on a proactive method to trigger drivers to prevent stationary waste.
We will be happy to help you!
One of our specialists can take a look at what is possible without any obligation. Even if there is nothing to save, we will tell you. It is nice to say that savings can be made somewhere, but what if it is part of the business process? Think, for example, of the need to run a pump, aggregate, etc. If no savings can be made on idling, we can certainly help you to optimise elsewhere.
We are happy to give you a no-obligation demo.
