Fleet fuel management consists of:


• Monitoring driver behaviors that can result in negative effects on fuel efficiency, such as speeding, acceleration and braking, and excessive idling
• Gaining greater control of where and when fuel is purchased
• Optimizing preventative maintenance schedules
• Using vehicle diagnostics data for proactive maintenance purposes
• Rightsizing vehicles to duty cycles
• Preventing fuel fraud by monitoring excessive fuel usage patterns
