Fuel Consumption Control

Effective fuel consumption control is a key factor in reducing costs and increasing the profitability of fleets and special machinery. Fuel consumption is influenced by multiple factors, including operating modes, idle time, movement time, and driving style. Without precise tracking and analysis of these factors, it is impossible to identify the causes of excessive fuel consumption and find ways to reduce it.

Depending on the type of company and the type of transport operations, different methods of fuel consumption control are applied:

Liters per 100 km (L/100 km)
This metric is relevant for freight and passenger vehicles that travel significant distances. It allows for analyzing fuel efficiency, detecting anomalies, and optimizing fuel usage.
Liters per engine hour (L/mh)
Used to control fuel consumption on specialized vehicles operating in confined areas (for example, construction, agricultural, mining machines) In these cases, it is essential to consider not just fuel volume but also its correlation with operational workload.

To achieve fuel efficiency, it is crucial to not only track total fuel consumption but also analyze actual usage in comparison with established norms. Identifying inefficiencies, such as excessive idling or fuel use without productive work, helps detect potential issues and develop strategies to eliminate them.

Solution Components

Omnicomm’s solution enables comprehensive fuel consumption analysis by considering not only current fuel levels but also key operational parameters such as speed limits, engine RPM, and other critical data. This allows for in-depth analysis, identification of deviations from standard benchmarks, and optimization of fuel consumption, ensuring more efficient operation of vehicles and specialized equipment.

Fuel Level Sensors

Omnicomm fuel level sensors provide precise fuel tracking in vehicle tanks, capturing real-time fuel levels. They form the foundation for objective fuel accounting and analysis.

GPS-Trackers

GPS-trackers monitor vehicle movement, allowing fuel consumption to be correlated with mileage or engine hours. This helps identify prolonged idle times with running engines and cases of non-operational fuel use.

Omnicomm Online

Omnicomm Online provides specialized reports offering detailed fuel consumption analytics:

  • “Statistics” – Displays key fuel consumption parameters, analyzing actual usage. 
  • “Group Work” – Compares the efficiency of multiple vehicles, identifying anomalies and excessive consumption. 
  • “Summary Report” – Consolidates key fuel consumption data, operating modes, and transportation efficiency. 

Fuel consumption control is a real opportunity to reduce companies’ costs. In various industries, fuel expenses can account for up to 40% of total operational costs. Poor fuel management can lead to significant financial losses, whereas implementing Omnicomm solutions helps reduce fuel expenses by up to 30%, preventing overuse and optimizing resource utilization. Comprehensive monitoring enables businesses to gain financial benefits while improving overall fleet efficiency.
