From simply avoiding too many stops to building a whole new fuel-efficient model, it comes down to either <a href=\"https:\/\/stagingms.gofleet.com\/fuel-management\">improving the fuel economy<\/a> of already existing vehicles or acquiring new more fuel efficient vehicles. Strategies for reducing fuel consumption\u00a0can be broken down into the following six categories:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Matching the Right Vehicle to the Right Route<\/strong><br \/>\nChoosing the right vehicle for the right task is very important. For example, you could assign lighter vehicles to longer routes and select alternative fuel vehicles for shorter routes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keep an Eye on Idling and Smarter Shifts When Changing Gears<\/strong><br \/>\nThe fewer times your engine starts, the less fuel you will consume. Changing gears sooner will also help lower your overall revolution per minute, resulting in less gas consumption. <a href=\"http:\/\/stagingms\/gps-vehicle-tracking-tour\/\">GPS vehicle tracking<\/a> system technology allows in-vehicle &#8216;beeping&#8217; functions which can alert drivers to turn off their engine when the vehicle has been put into &#8220;Park&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Speed Restrictions<\/strong><br \/>\nRestricting and reducing speed is another method for reducing wasted fuel. The implementation of speeding restrictions in fleet management is very helpful when it comes to saving fuel. This is because the slower the speed the less fuel required, ultimately resulting in lower fuel expenditure. GPS vehicle tracking system technology can also help drivers reduce fuel consumption by reminding them to slow down and stay within the posted speed limit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Curb Idling and Aggressive Driving with a GPS Vehicle Tracking System<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen it comes to idling, unnecessary consumption equals unnecessary costs, which is amplified further with the more vehicles a business operates. Reminding drivers to turn off their engine can have huge paybacks in both the short and long term. Aggressive driving also leads to greater fuel use. This includes things like speeding, harsh breaking, accelerating, and even sharp cornering. It is important to change driver habits to improve vehicle economy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Switch To Alternative Fuels<\/strong><br \/>\nSwitching to alternative fuels can be very beneficial. It can help save on fuel expenses because alternative fuels are cheaper than regular oil. Not only is the fuel cheaper, but the maintenance fees are also lower.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rely on the Right Sized Engines<\/strong><br \/>\nDownsizing to vehicles with smaller engines can also help save significantly on fuel. FedEx purchased trucks with the right sized engines and are now 70-100% more fuel efficient than the previous trucks they were using. (According to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.automotive-fleet.com\/\">Automotive Fleet<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lighten the Load<\/strong><br \/>\nHaving a lighter vehicle load can help contribute to <a href=\"https:\/\/stagingms.gofleet.com\/5-easy-fuel-saving-tips-for-your-fleet\/\">fuel savings<\/a>. The lighter the vehicle, the more fuel efficient the vehicle will be. Car manufacturers have been able to significantly decrease the weight of many newer vehicles by building them with composite body parts.<\/p>\n<p>Here at GoFleet, in partner with Geotab, we are committed to helping businesses realize a solid return on their GPS vehicle tracking system investment.
