How to Save Diesel in your Fleet in the face of Fuel Inflation?

---

The national average price of diesel in Mexico increased 7.7% annually and  at the LatAm level it has increased between 12% and 16%, presenting a great challenge for the operation and profitability of the Automotive Transport Fleets.

Save Diesel is a top priority for Automotive Cargo Fleets, leading them to search for real and immediate technological solutions that help them reduce fuel consumption and generate clear and tangible savings in the operation profitability.

Didcom Telematics Solutions meet the various needs in Fleet Management and one of the main ones is Fuel Efficiency, to evaluate the fuel consumption in your vehicles and detect critical trends to correct, as well as help you define the levels of responsible consumption that generate savings in the operation.

There are various deficiencies and anomalies that Didcom Telematics can help you detect and correct to save diesel in your vehicles fleet daily operation, among which are:

---

Poor Driving Habits

Idle Time is not the only indicator that influences an increase in fuel consumption, did you know that 65% of the fuel consumed by a vehicle at 70 MPH is used to overcome air resistance? Speeding is an indicator that directly impacts fuel consumption, which is why it is recommended not to exceed 55 MPH.

Telematics makes it easy for you to configure operating rules that delimit the speed limit and the maximum idle time allowed, to issue alerts that give you the opportunity to correct and align the operation of your vehicles to the optimal performance parameters.

Remote Start Inhibitor

In addition to integrating a Tag device that allows only the assigned operator to turn on the unit for its operation, we can also help you integrate the technology and configure the permitted hours to avoid unauthorized use of your vehicle outside of the determined working hours, the Remote Ignition Inhibitor can help you save diesel, as well as support you in situations of attempted theft.

---

Tire Pressure

Did you know that if your vehicle’s tires lose 1 PSI, it can reduce fuel efficiency by 3,5%? Traveling the routes daily with proper air pressure in your vehicles is a key parameter that requires constant monitoring and attention to protect your total fuel consumption.

At Didcom we help you integrate wired or bluetooth sensors, as required by your vehicles, to monitor the Tire PRessure in each of your units and prevent it from negatively impacting diesel consumption in your fleet.

---

Incompletes Fill-ups

Another way to save diesel is to validate the loads, not knowing the total fuel gallons / liters that your units recharge at the service stations makes it impossible for you to evaluate and detect possible incomplete fill-ups, depriving you of avoiding stops at unreliable points.

Didcom’s Telematics focused on Fuel Efficiency makes it easy for you to validate fuel loads in order to detect and georeference reliable stations along the routes.

---

Fuel Extractions / Fuel Theft

A drastic decrease in the fuel level in a short period of time is a clearly distinguishable event in our reports monitoring graph, so you can easily drill down to the day, time and GPs location to determine the cause of this possible fuel theft.

Save diesel also implies prevention, integrating proactive measures to avoid fuel extractions can help you to detect bad practices that have been ignored for a long period of time, generating significant savings in your operation when corrected.
