Saving fuel with telematics

With rising fuel prices, logistics companies are facing huge challenges. Currently, government support is not in sight. Accordingly, in this post, we have summarized ways for you to reduce fuel costs in your company and save on tank costs permanently with the help of digitization and telematics.

Identifying saving potentials

To train drivers on fuel-efficient driving, as a business owner, you first need to identify the saving potentials. Key components in saving tank costs are tire pressure, driver's driving style, and optimized, efficient routes. Telematics software like our BlueLOGICO® can support you at every step and make quick results easily achievable. In addition, the "Fuel Evaluation" module ensures security in monitoring lost or stolen fuel.

Driving style analysis - train your drivers on fuel-efficient driving

Unnecessary idling times, too rapid accelerations, and less foresighted driving with heavy braking lead to unnecessary fuel consumption, which represents a major avoidable cost point for all drivers.

The driving style analysis tool not only helps business owners discover how fuel-efficient employees drive but also trains the drivers at the same time. This means that the boss can not only evaluate the analysis daily but also drivers have their own driving style rating on the DriverDisplay at all times and can control how their driving style is developing. In addition, they receive tips and instructions on how to improve their driving style directly on the tablet in the truck.

Optimize routes, drive efficiently, and save fuel

The best driving style doesn't help much if routes include unnecessary detours or are simply not as efficient as possible. With the tour planning and live dispatch module of BlueLOGICO®, you have the best tools at hand to carefully, sustainably, and efficiently plan your tours, and most importantly: With BlueLOGICO® Ad-Hoc Planning, the fastest route is calculated with just one click even for spontaneous route changes or adjustments.

Detect problems immediately with fuel evaluation

The tire pressure analysis within BlueLOGICO® runs via the DriverDisplay, so it can only be used if DriverDisplays are in use - but then nothing stands in the way of analyzing the tire pressure. The huge advantage: You save time and employee resources in checking the tire pressure since it is fully automatic analyzed but at the same time, you can be sure that low tire pressure does not cause extra fuel consumption!

The fuel evaluation provides the best overview to detect defects, errors, or abnormalities. Construction sites are increasingly struggling with the theft of expensive materials, and fuel can also be stolen from the truck's tank. With fuel evaluation, such problems are quickly recognizable, and at the same time, you keep an overview of the company's entire fuel consumption!
