How the fuel is stolen from your vehicles?

There are several ways in which Fuel Theft can be carried out in the operation of your fleets.

• Tank Drain. Direct removal from the vehicle unit.
• Drain on Refill. Pout into canisters at the service station.
• Dispenser Alteration. Modified pump at the service station.
• Bills Alteration. Numbers modified in documentation.
• Odometer Alteration. Mileage and hours / engine modification.

Fuel Consumption can represent up to 30% of the expense in your Fleet Operation, it ranks as one of the main Operating Expenses for any Auto Transport Fleet, so it is key for Fleet Managers to monitor each liter of spent fuel.

Bad Driving increases Fuel Cost

Speeding increases fuel consumption, rapid acceleration and heavy braking increase fuel consumption by up to 33%, while idling time and speeding can have a drastic impact on km/lt performance, according to the US Department of Energy.

Fuel performance is directly proportional to excess RPM, in the vast majority of cases, it is therefore of great importance to monitor the RPM index to know  the real operation, preventing excessive increases in Fuel Consumption and avoiding inefficient engine operation.

Save up to 19% on Fuel Consumption

Didcom® has developed a Telematics Solution that can help you mitigate Fuel Theft and Excessive Consumption due to bad practices in your vehicle’s operation. Fleet Managers can use the information from fuel reports and driving habits to define whether the performance per kilometer traveled is adequate for each specific trip.

---

Route Programming

Plan the most suitable and safe routes for your vehicles, and determine the distances, times and optimal fuel consumption for each trip, ensuring an average operation cost.

---

Drivers Evaluation

Monitor the performance of the operators behind the wheel and optimize the factors that influence fuel efficiency, such as idle times, hazardous driving and use after hours.

---

Speed Limits

Set safe driving rules to alert and correct the driver in real time, limiting the speed allowed during the trip and the RPM index, preventing excessive fuel costs.

---

Preventive Maintenance

Ensure your vehicles optimal operation with constant engine monitoring and preventive maintenance programs to avoid excessive consumption due to deterioration on mechanical failures.

---

Charging Station Network

Set the safest stops for your vehicles on each trip, limiting refueling to the most reliable service station on route.

---

Theft Prevention

Delimit geofences of operation to monitor unauthorized exits, notify the doors opening in unauthorized locations and the vehicle use outside working hours, to issue alerts and execute corrective actions in a timely manner.

Our solutions capture the information in simple graphs to detect strange behaviors, as well as date, time, location and the driver assigned to the vehicle in each operation, so that they can be associated with anomalies in fuel recharging and consumption, as well as deficient driving habits.
