Complete, Affordable Fuel & Fleet Management Services
With average prices hovering around $4 per gallon, fleet managers have seen fuel expenses nearly double in the past 18 months (with no relief in sight as experts predict $6 per gallon sometime this year).
There are many factors which affect fuel consumption and increase the cost of maintaining your fleet:
- Driving habits, such as quick starts and stops, can significantly lower mileage.
- Aggressive driving habits increase vehicle maintenance costs.
- Preventive maintenance may not be up-to-date.
- Improperly maintained vehicles will not achieve the acceptable level of fuel efficiency.
- Idling time.
- Efficient route planning.
Implementing a system to track and automatically report this type of information seems like a daunting and expensive undertaking.
Fuel Management Systems, Inc. can help!
By taking advantage of the information available through the standard OBDII port on your vehicles. We can automate the collection and reporting of information crucial to evaluating vehicle, driver, and overall fleet performance.
(OBDII stands for On Board Diagnostics Two and has been installed in every new vehicle sold in the U.S. since 1996).
This allows us to monitor virtually any vehicle and driver activity that can affect fuel mileage or vehicle maintenance:
- Up to 1200 hours of trip details (newest data records over oldest).
- Engine performance monitoring to keep your vehicles in top running condition.
- Monitor hard accelerations and hard braking.
- Speed Thresholds to allow you to see when drivers exceed the speed limit.
- Diagnostic trouble codes, freeze-frame sensor readings.
- Emissions readiness reports to check the status of the vehicle's smog-control systems.
- Utilize GPS to track route efficiency and driver locations.
- Log up to 4 of 23 engine parameters such as RPMs, Coolant temperature, Engine load, Fuel system status, Oxygen sensor output voltage, Intake air temperature, Intake manifold pressure, Short-term fuel trim, Long-term fuel trim, Fuel pressure.
- Automatic accident log with last 20 seconds speed data before impact.
- Calculate gas mileage.
- Allows user-set thresholds for audible alarms, speed, acceleration, and braking (post-drive reports/graphs show when, for how long, and number of times thresholds were exceeded).
Utilizing this information can help your company greatly reduce fuel & fleet maintenance costs by providing the ability to train your drivers in proper driving habits and help diagnose and quickly address vehicle maintenance issues.
