Fleet fuel efficiency is paramount for a fleet manager to accomplish two objectives: reducing the operating cost of the fleet, as well as keeping the fleet more environmentally friendly. Fuel efficiency is achieved by using the best way of route, being careful with driver behavior, servicing vehicles, and better managing with advanced technology with real-time data and insights, which TruckX closes those gaps for fleets to achieve maximum fuel efficiency.

Optimized route: a keyway to reduce the fuel consumption of fleets is by optimizing routes. TruckX’s platform uses state-of-the-art algorithms to find the most economical path for delivery of freight between origins and destinations, so to avoid miles being unnecessarily spent driving. By planning to avoid congested areas and city centers, or by planning routes that make fewer stops, fleets can see a drastic change in the costs associated with the use of diesel fuel.

The third most important factor is driver behavior. In this context, TruckX offers devices to monitor things like extended driving hours, speeding, and hard braking. Addressing these inefficient driver behaviors will allow fleet managers to improve fuel efficiency and extend the lifespan of their vehicles.

Regular maintenance of vehicles is also important to maintain fuel efficiency. TruckX’s solution provides automated maintenance alerts to ensure regular servicing of vehicles. Better fuel economy can be achieved if the engine is tuned, the tires are at the right inflation levels, the tank is wiped clean, and the filters are cleared.
