Fuel consumption monitoring

Fuel consumption monitoring provides reliable information on fuel costs, detects fuel theft, helps to reduce costs through routes optimization and to improve the efficiency of drivers. It allows company to find an additional advantage over competitors and maximize profits.

FUEL COSTS OPTIMIZATION, FUEL CONSUMPTION MONITORING

Details of fuel consumption under the supervision of fleet manager

Problem

Fuel cost is the largest part of the fleet’s operating costs. The problem of a clear definition of these costs is related to the precise measurement of fuel consumption, which depends on vehicles – trucks, buses, agricultural, construction or special machinery and boats.

Accurate fuel consumption monitoring obtain additional competitive advantages. In addition, measurement of fuel consumption eliminates fuel manipulations.

Consequences

It is difficult to detect the possibility of increasing efficiency and eliminating fuel theft without proper control under fuel consumption.

Companies that do not control fuel consumption don’t have additional advantages over competitors and don’t receive the maximum profit.

Solution

In combination with a GPS tracking system, fuel consumption monitoring offers more opportunities to improve efficiency of business operations. In addition, it provides further information for diagnosis and maintenance of engine.

Fuel consumption monitoring can be carried out by standard car sensors (if possible) and / or additional sensors installed on the vehicle. When using standard sensors, CAN BUS receives data, collected via OBD II or BUS wires.

WHAT TO DO

Fuel monitoring in tank

DUT-E fuel level sensor is designed to measure fuel level in the tank accurately. Information about fuel level can be used as a reference point in fuel consumption calculating. Fuel level sensor minimizes possibility of theft from tank and doesn’t allow driver to report excessive fuel consumption.

Direct fuel consumption monitoring

DFM fuel flow meter is a device for accurate fuel consumption measurement. It is installed in vehicle’s fuel system and measures fuel consumption with high accuracy. Information from DFM flow meter can be used to monitor fuel consumption in different engine modes. Flow meter measures consumption directly, possibilities for fuel theft are minimized.

Standard data using

CANCrocodile is designed for obtaining vehicle operation data from onboard CAN bus. Collected signals are transmitted to tracking device. Information on fuel consumption from standard sensor is transmitted to CAN bus and then is send to server via CANCrocodile without any interruption into the vehicle electronic systems’ integrity.
