Fuel management

Fuel usage• A light motor vehicle uses around 10 litres per 100km. (10km to the litre)

• Heavy Goods vehicles can use up to 50 litres per hundred km. (2km to the litre)

• For a company to remain viable many long haul trucks drive up to 10 hours a shift.

• This could mean fuel usage of 400 litres per day.

• The usage would translate to a conservative R86 000 per month.

• This in turn translates to over R1 million per year.

Losses• Remember fuel is a commodity.

• Even a tiny loss of 1% on a HGV would mean losses of R10 000 a year.

• In reality the losses can be much greater.

• Another more serious problem can be under estimating the fuel used to do a delivery.

• This can result in massive under quoting or repeated losses, which could cost you your business.

If using cash to fill up• We have had the following tricks reported to us:

• Driver is given a fixed amount of cash to add fuel. Eg R200

• Asks attendant for a R200 slip which is easy to obtain as there are many R200 transactions.

• Driver tells attendant to add R150 fuel, bring R40 change and keep R10

• Losses on a light motor vehicle doing 100km/day will add up to R8110 per year

• Your driver is using the petrol tank as his personal ATM

When using cards to fill up• The slip will indicate the actual fuel dispensed

• But does it all go in your tank?

• Is it syphoned out later?

• Is a drainage system used?

We have the solution• Digit Fuel Manager

• Works in conjunction with Digit Vehicle Tracking

• Gives you a fuel information on your logbook

• Updates via SMS of fuel theft or fuel added

• Map indication of where fuel was added or stolen

• Graph of fuel for the day

How does it work

• Fuel Tank Level Sensor (TLS) fitted to the tank

• Digit device fitted to the vehicle

• TLS connects to the Digit system

• Software gives fuel information
