Ram: tracking tech can slash 40% off fuel costs

Date: 14 October 2013   |   Author: Jack Carfrae

Properly implemented tracking and telematics technology can slash fuel spend by up to 40% according to Ram Tracking.

The firm claimed the top five causes of "excessive" fleet fuel consumption were: speeding, ineffective route planning, engine idling, unauthorised private vehicle use and poor driving habits - all of which could be countered with a proper monitoring and fuel-saving programme.

The firm said efficient drivers achieved roughly 30% better fuel economy than their poorer-performing colleagues. It also claimed that cutting idling times by 15 minutes per day could save a fleet of 25 vehicles 600 gallons of fuel a year.

Ram's director Chris McClellan said: "Proactively managing your company's fuel expenditure can decrease costs and increase profits without increasing fleet size or hiring more drivers."
