Industries: Transportation and Distribution
Fuel ranks as one of the top operational expenses for any fleet operator, so it is vital that carriers audit their spending down to every gallon. However, auditing fuel usage is a complex, labor-intensive process that yields variable results from month to month and often poses more questions than answers.
The only robust solution to inaccurate fuel consumption data is to calibrate it - to reflect the true, real-world fuel economy for each vehicle in the fleet. Without accurate fuel burned data, it is impossible to compare drivers objectively against each other, individual vehicles against one another or makes and models from one another.
ORBCOMM’s Fuel Auditor overcomes these challenges by providing an automated method of auditing fuel down to each gallon burned by every truck. This delivers immediate fuel savings, reduces maintenance costs, prevents theft and improves purchase decision, using deep analytics, calibration technology and driver coaching tools.
