It is essential for fleet managers to keep a close tab on fuel usage and spending to prevent hurdles that may hinder profitability. While fuel prices may fluctuate, the fuel economy of your vehicles should not be altering. There are a few common themes associated with a dropping fuel performance in commercial vehicles. Did you know driver performance/behavior can have a heavy impact on your vehicle’s fuel economy? The likes of sudden harsh braking and drastic acceleration, both of which are registered in the LANA Fleet platform with video, will burn through fuel fast rather than driving under control. Another cause that can be associated with burning through fuel is a mechanical problem with a commercial vehicle in your fleet. This is a key identifier to get your vehicle serviced to avoid having to pay for a costly repair.

Furthermore, instructing your drivers to travel at lower speeds can help your vehicles save an ample amount of fuel savings. In addition to the risk involved with fast travel, there is a heightened level of fuel consumption associated with it. A recent study came out by the US Department of Energy, stating “Reducing your speed by 5 to 10 mph can improve fuel economy by 7%–14%”.

Video aside, CallPass knew these were all key components on a fleet manager’s mind when launching our fleet solution.
