New Fuel Optimizer for Fleets Introduced
A new standalone fuel optimization solution that combines real-time driver coaching and fuel usage analytics, engineered to provide significant savings, has been introduced by Vnomics.
“True Fuel is the result of customer feedback and our commitment to the transportation industry to provide a driver coaching tool in a format that can be used by any fleet, regardless of its telematics platform,” said Alan Farnsworth, CEO at Vnomics. “We’ve taken our current fuel optimization solution, which has already proven to provide a 3%-10% fleet wide fuel savings on several thousand vehicles, and packaged it as a stand-alone product that any fleet can quickly deploy and begin saving fuel immediately.”
The company notes that it is easy to install and monitors each vehicle’s actual fuel usage in real-time and compares it to the maximum achievable fuel economy for that vehicle under its current operating conditions. To accurately identify the actual and potential fuel usage of each truck and each driver, the system takes into account the impact of vehicle make, model and age, terrain and load size.
“Vnomics knows drivers don’t need more visual distractions,” stated Farnsworth. “With audio alerts for improper shifting, speeding and idling that signal only when the driver is not optimizing fuel consumption, True Fuel empowers drivers to take immediate action to improve fuel efficiency in real-time.”
With True Fuel, drivers are also provided with scorecards detailing the fuel loss factors they can control, including shifting efficiency, speeding and idle time. Fleet managers can use the solution’s web portal to access fuel use analytics and summary dashboards and gain insights instantly into fuel usage and causes of wasted fuel for a fleet or for specific vehicles and drivers.
