8 Ways to Save and Reduce Costs with Telemetry in your Fleet

---

It is key for the Fleet Manager to be aware of the cost in each kilometer traveled by each of his units in the fleet, to detect opportunities for savings and increase the operation profitability.

Between fuel consumption, repairs for mechanical failures and accidents, as well as the payment on insurance policies and fines for violations or non-compliance, not to mention the excessive expenses that are ignored in the operation, profitability can take a high risk for the business.

Find out below how Didcom® Telemetry Solutions provide multiple opportunities to integrate best practices into your fleet, reduce operating costs and prevent unforeseen expenses.

Optimize fuel consumption in your fleet by up to 30% by improving the driving habits of your operators, reduce idle time, avoid sudden accelerations and excess RPM in the engine of your vehicle that unnecessarily increase the cost.

Plan the best routes to prevent excessive fuel consumption and guarantee the punctuality of your fleet, considering that traffic increases the duration of trips by up to 24%.

2. Increase the Lifespan of your Vehicles

A vehicle with punctual mechanical services uses less fuel and is less likely to have mechanical failures during operation, avoiding interrupting trips and risking delivery compliance.
