Fuel Management, a user’s guide from HaulTech
As fuel prices soar and availablilty drops, we thought we’d offer our 4 step guide to better fuel management:
- Best price, best service: Make sure you are not paying for your ‘loyalty’, to a single fuel supplier. Shop around and purchase from the supplier with the best price, not the best prize.
- Keep it secure and safe: Once you’ve purchased it, make sure it is managed at the pump and not wasted through poor vehicle maintenance
- Little bits lead to large savings: MPG monitoring only gives an indication of fuel consumption over distance. By utilising telematics systems like TrakMaster users can further analyse speed, idling, cruise control usage, revs and acceleration to get a full idea of vehicle usage and driver performance.
- Award performance: Companies that reward drivers for hitting driving KPI’s, see fuel usage improve by as much as 12%. TrakMaster generates driver performance reports which can be used to manage & reward good drivers and flag those drivers who require further training.

Fuel prices continue to rise
Diesel prices reached an all time high today. The BBC reported that Brent Crude had hit $128.40 a barrel, which has had a knock on effect at the pumps (full story).
