The four biggest sources of waste
Idling
An engine running while parked burns fuel for no distance. Idle reports show who, where and for how long.
Excess mileage
Detours, wrong turns, poor job sequencing and personal use all add kilometres or miles.
Speeding
Fuel consumption rises sharply at higher motorway speeds, so speed policies save fuel as well as improving safety.
Harsh driving
Aggressive acceleration and braking waste energy and increase wear on brakes and tyres.
Turning data into savings
- Set a baseline for each vehicle before making changes
- Pick one or two issues to tackle first
- Share results with drivers each week or month
- Combine with route planning to cut total distance
