Fuel costs are cutting into profitability. Solutions that bring the most value to a business
are real-time, but simple and easy to incorporate into the daily routine.
They save money but not costing the fleet manager time. FleetPoint customers routinely tell
us how dependent they have become on all the unexpected benefits, in addition to the thousands
of dollars a year they are saving in fuel.
The ability to compare idling time across the fleet have the ability to alert for idling events
which exceed 12% on a weekly basis. As an example, a Seattle plumbing company with vans and trucks
that average over 1,000 miles per week has documented a savings of $1600 per vehicle in the first year
of service. They effectively eliminated 1.6 hours of idling every week and all the savings went straight
to the bottom line.
Speeding also has a deleterious effect on business, not only is it the greatest contributor to the cost
of accidents but it too wastes fuel. At 70mph, stopping distance increases by 63% over 50mph.
Even in broad daylight accident rates significantly increase at higher speeds.
Heat is the number one enemy of tires, sustained speeds of 70 mph will almost double tire wear when compared
to a vehicle that consistently operates below 55 mph.
Finally, industry averages show that decreasing speed reduces fuel consumption by 1.5% for every 1mph decrease
over 50 mph. For example decreasing average speed from 70mph to 55 mph will decrease fuel consumption by 22%.
