The new year is always a good time for businesses to review their strategies! For fleets, one of these strategies might be the fuel strategy. Even in a new year, fleet managers are challenged to get more bang for fuel bucks. Here is a sample fuel strategy framework that is powered by data from fuel monitoring systems for trucks.<\/p>\n

ABC Company\u2019s Fuel Strategy Framework<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

ABC Company is a trucking company. It\u2019s no surprise that fuel is one of their biggest costs. For that reason, ABC\u2019s fleet manager uses fuel monitoring systems for trucks to guide their fuel strategy.<\/p>\n

ABC\u2019s fuel strategy is organized into a step by step process. In this process, the fleet manager plans fuel savings, monitors fuel data, creates policies, and reports results.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s closely examine each step.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Planning savings with Fleet Savings Summary<\/span><\/h3>\n

As with any good strategy, the first step is to set goals. This is no different for ABC\u2019s fuel strategy. At the beginning of each year, the fleet manager sets fuel savings targets with a Fleet Savings Summary report.<\/p>\n

The Fleet Savings Summary creates a dashboard of potential savings from using fuel monitoring systems for trucks<\/a>. Throughout the year, the fleet manager uses the savings dashboard to compare results against targets.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Monitoring fuel purchase with Fuel Tracker<\/span><\/h3>\n

In the second step, ABC\u2019s fleet manager collects fuel purchase data. Vital data is collected and reported on the Fuel Tracker Report.<\/p>\n

For instance, the fleet manager can see where fuel was purchased, how much fuel costed, and what was the fuel economy. Afterwards, the fleet manager creates effective purchase policies by analyzing fuel purchase reports.<\/p>\n

Step 3: Monitoring fuel usage with Fuel Consumption Analysis<\/span><\/h3>\n

The third step is to monitor trucks as they go on the road. Here, the fleet manager\u2019s biggest challenge is to make sense of all of the data.<\/p>\n

Since fuel use depends on different factors, the fleet manager relies on Fuel Consumption Analysis to narrow down what\u2019s driving fuel cost and how to meet savings targets.<\/p>\n

For instance, fuel variation reports shows how much fuel was consumed each day. From these reports, ABC can filter out days that had dips in fuel efficiency.<\/p>\n
