The DMT Vehicle Tracking Device currently provides distance and travel time. Although this is not directly measuring fuel consumption, it can still be a valuable tool in achieving fuel consumption preservation through several indirect methods.
Some of the key methods you can use to preserve high fuel consumption includes the following;

1. Identify Idling
Although the tracker can directly measure idling, large discrepancies between distance travelled and travel time can highlight potential excessive idling.
For instance, if a vehicle shows minimal distance travelled but a significant amount of time has passed, it might indicate unnecessary idling during stops. You can then address this with drivers to encourage practices like turning off the engine during short breaks.
2. Driver Behaviour Monitoring:
Knowing the distance and travel time allows you to calculate average speed. By monitoring average speeds and identifying instances of excessive speeding or harsh acceleration, you can coach drivers on more fuel-efficient driving habits.
Maintaining a steady speed and avoiding aggressive maneuvers can significantly improve fuel economy.
3. Improved Route Optimization
By analyzing historical data on distances and travel times for frequently travelled routes, you can identify potential inefficiencies. For example, if a route consistently shows longer travel times than expected, it might indicate traffic congestion or inefficient routing.
You can then explore alternative routes or adjust schedules to minimize travel time, which often translates to reduced fuel consumption due to less idling and stop-and-go traffic.
4. Trip Planning and Efficiency:
Having data on distances and travel times allows for better trip planning. You can optimize deliveries, service calls, or other journeys by grouping them efficiently and minimizing empty miles. This reduces unnecessary travel and associated fuel consumption.
5. Unauthorized Vehicle Use Detection:
If a vehicle is being used outside of expected routes or during unauthorized times, the distance and travel time data can be a red flag. This allows for quicker intervention in case of potential theft or misuse, potentially preventing unnecessary fuel consumption.
Conclusion
While DMT Tracking Devices currently are not measuring fuel use directly, it provides valuable insights that can be used to implement strategies and encourage practices that ultimately contribute to fuel consumption preservation.
