Снижение затрат на топливо с обучением водителя

. С стоимостью топлива составляют большую часть общих эксплуатационных расходов вашего парка, имеет смысл максимально минимизировать ваши счета за топливо.

Флоты, как правило, смотрят на множество различных вариантов, когда речь заходит об использовании топлива, включая реализацию программного обеспечения для управления автопарком. Но иногда менеджеры флота упускают из виду одну стратегию, которая в основном свободна для реализации, и которая может оказать существенное влияние на общее использование топлива флота - образование водителей. 527

Driver education can help reduce fuel use because:

• Drivers realise they can make a big difference
• Drivers are more conscious of how they drive and how it affects fuel consumption
• Drivers understand the safety benefits of driving more responsibly

Here are two important tips for drivers that you can use as part of a driver education program to minimise fuel use.

Avoid excessive idling

An idling truck consumes about a litre of fuel every hour. That can quickly add up. Pause to check if you really do need your engine running. If you don't, turn it off. If you don't currently measure fleet fuel use, investigate the use of GPS fleet tracking so you can monitor and control excessive idling.

Avoid overfilling

If a tank is filled to the brim it can easily overflow when the fuel is heated, either by the sun or fuel returned by the engine. This is not only dangerous to other road users, but also wasteful.

As part of an overall fleet management system, fleet managers can use these tips to minimise overall fuel usage and save thousands of dollars.

If you're a driver, perhaps you can suggest your fleet managers reward economical driving by measuring fuel use across the entire team. It can actually become a fun challenge to see who the most fuel-frugal driver is!
