The role of fuel tracking in the transportation sector is paramount, especially keeping in mind the soaring fuel prices and an increasing number of thefts happening in different places. Our avant-garde fuel sensors form
the foundation of GPS fuel monitoring systems, improving fuel tracking
and overall efficiency.
Let’s understand the key benefits of using a GPS-enabled fuel monitoring system, powered by Escort Monitoring Systems Group’s fuel sensors.
One of the essential benefits of combining fuel monitoring systems with GPS technology is the ability to monitor fuel consumption and other parameters in real time. GPS enables you to track the location of your vehicles precisely, while our fuel sensors monitor fuel usage.
We use a one-of-a-kind wireless capacitive fuel level sensor, TD-BLE, which you can easily install in your vehicle’s fuel tank. It allows you to remotely monitor the amount of fuel consumption, frequency of fuel fill, fuel draining and other activities related to the fuel tank.
So, you get complete control of your fleet’s fuel tanks, allowing you to make insightful decisions on fuel inefficiencies, route optimisation, driver’s behaviour, etc. By providing real-time and precise fuel usage data, our sensor has helped fleet managers cut down fuel abuse and wastage by up to 90%!!
Reduced Fuel Wastage
Do you know that uneconomical driving patterns can result in thousands of hours of fuel wastage annually? Here are some examples. Imagine your vehicle is moving at a consistent speed and suddenly the driver increases or decreases the speed. This can cause the vehicle to consume 20% more fuel. Similarly, a vehicle uses more fuel with rapid starts and stops, resulting in higher fuel costs over time.
Vehicle idling, driving at the lowest gear, illegal routes, excessive loading, etc. are other types of driver behaviour that can significantly increase fuel consumption and wastage. Our fuel sensors, powered by GPS trackers, can provide insights such as idling alerts, dangerous driving and fuel draining, so you can easily identify problem areas and set goals to reduce fuel wastage.
By fostering a sense of efficient driving, you can improve your fuel economy by up to 33%.
Track and Prevent Fuel Theft
You’d agree – fuel theft is one of the biggest challenges plaguing fleet operators and transportation & logistics companies. By using Escort Monitoring Systems Group’s real-time GPS-enabled fuel sensors, you can identify unauthorised fuel siphoning. The device records fuel tank activity data and sends it to the fuel tracking system which provides instant notifications when your vehicle’s fuel levels diverge from the regular consumption pattern.
This will enable you to immediately detect and prevent potential unauthorised fuel usage or theft, safeguarding your company’s assets and reducing costs. ESCORT TD-BLE is compatible with GPS trackers from brands like Navtelecom, Teltonika, etc. which allows you to track vehicle location in real-time.
Additionally, it can seamlessly connect to various satellite navigation systems via a wireless adapter that connects to the GPS tracker directly and bridges wirelessly to the fuel level sensor. This allows you to get instant fuel theft reports on your mobile device via our free mobile application “Escort.”
Efficient Route Planning
One of the key advantages of GPS fuel monitoring systems is that you can plan the most miles-saving and efficient route based on factors like road closures, traffic jams, accidents, etc. This helps in improving driver productivity and ensuring enhanced customer satisfaction by providing timely service.
Any deviation from the expected route and our fuel level sensor will immediately record the information and send it to the fuel monitoring system. This enables you to deter your drivers from taking illegal or unauthorised routes, preventing fuel wastage and cutting down costs.
Reduced Fuel Costs
Effective fuel management subsequently translates into increased cost savings. Our GPS-enabled fuel sensors help you analyse fuel consumption patterns in real-time, enabling you to identify areas of improvement, prevent theft, optimise routes, and implement economical driving practices. Together, these factors can help reduce fuel costs and also minimise vehicle wear & tear.
Using our cutting-edge fuel level sensors can help scale down your overall fuel costs by up to 15% to 30%. You can further optimise fleet efficiency and increase productivity by 30% through effective fuel monitoring.
