Add-on for Ehubo2

Fuel management: find where your fleet is wasting fuel

Fuel is one of the biggest costs your fleet carries, and if you can't compare the fuel you buy with the distance each vehicle covers, it's hard to see where you're losing money. EROAD fuel management matches the two for you, so you can find the vehicles and drivers using the most fuel and act where the savings are biggest. It's an add-on for Ehubo2 telematics, and you can connect a Shell or WEX fuel card to bring your fills in automatically.

How fuel management helps your fleet

Cutting your fuel bill starts with knowing which vehicles and drivers use the most, and why. A fleet average won't show you that across a mix of vehicles, drivers and terrain, but matching every fill to what each vehicle actually did will. Pair it with Idle Reports and Fuel Tax Credits to see the full picture of what your fuel is doing.

Accurate data, no manual work

Connect a Shell or WEX fuel card and the transactions arrive already attached to the right vehicle. No spreadsheet at month end.

Find your biggest fuel burners

Compare vehicles and drivers against each other and against the targets you set, so the ones costing you the most stand out straight away.

See what's driving fuel use

A vehicle burning more than expected might be how it's being driven, might be due for a service, might be both. Fuel sits beside behaviour, servicing and utilisation in the one platform, so you can tell which.

Fuel level alerts for reefers

Reefer operators get one more thing: a fuel level alert that helps make sure the unit doesn't leave the yard short. It needs a CoreHub Xtreme and an OEM fuel sensor you buy separately.

Features

What you can do with EROAD fuel management

Match fuel to distance

Every fill gets matched to the kilometres the vehicle did. A fuel card integration does it for you; without one, you can upload the transactions, or a driver can key a fill in from the cab on Ehubo2 Safe Driver Plus.

  • Fuel card integration, which costs extra to connect in Australia
  • Shell and WEX, the two providers that connect here at the moment
  • Manual upload or in-cab driver entry where there's no card

Spot unusual fills and theft

When a fill doesn't line up with what the vehicle did, it gets flagged. Sometimes that's innocent, like a jerry can filled at the same time as the tank. Sometimes it's fuel going somewhere it shouldn't, and you'd rather know.

  • Fuel that doesn't match the vehicle's usage, including possible theft
  • Consumption trends over time

Set fuel economy targets

Set the fuel economy targets, then watch actual against expected. A tipper on dirt shouldn't be measured against a linehaul run.

  • Targets by vehicle, group or total fleet
  • Driver-specific targets

Actual fuel consumed

On compatible heavy vehicles fitted with CAN Bus Connect, you see the fuel the engine consumed rather than a number worked out from litres bought, right down to trip level. Not every make and model supports it, and fuel reporting still works without it.

  • Fuel use straight from the engine control module
  • Trip-level detail for investigating a vehicle

Who it's for

How it helps across your business

Fleet managers

You can take one vehicle's numbers to the workshop and one driver's to a shift start, off the same report. With a card connected, nobody's reconciling fuel transactions by hand.

Finance managers

What each vehicle costs to run in fuel. The numbers come from the same records your fuel tax credit claim uses.

Operations managers

Each month there's a short list of exceptions to work through, with enough detail behind each one to see what happened.

Drivers

Targets can be set per driver from your fuel data, so a coaching conversation starts from a number rather than an opinion. Where CAN Bus Connect is fitted, it comes from the engine itself.
