What’s Your Challenge?

Fuel Usage

The Challenge:

The price you pay for fuel is beyond your control. But fuel is a necessary expense for powering your fleet - and your business. How can you continue to complete the work your business requires without cutting back on service or overrunning your gasoline budget?

The Solution:

You can't control the price at the pump, but you can use fuel more efficiently. Wireless Matrix's FleetOutlook solution lets you monitor vehicle operations and identify behaviors that waste fuel. Vehicle usage reports illustrate vehicle idle times, a valuable factor in fuel efficiency, while vehicle alerts can tell you if speeding is robbing you of mileage.

The Value:

The Indiana Department of Environmental Management estimates that engine idling burns 1 gallon of fuel per hour. With gasoline at $4 a gallon, if you can reduce engine idle in your fleet by 30 minutes per vehicle, per day then you can save $2 per vehicle per day. In a typical business month (22 days), you save $44 per vehicle. In a fleet of 100 vehicles, that's $4,400 a month - almost $53,000 annually - in idle fuel savings alone.
