Fleet fuel management systems
Save on costs by actively managing fuel use and increasing overall fuel efficiency with our premier fleet fuel management system.
Fleet fuel management reports
Increase fuel efficiency with proactive maintenance
Keeping tires properly inflated and vehicles in good condition supports peak fuel efficiency. Practise proactive fleet maintenance with Geotab reports and reminders to optimise vehicle performance, fuel efficiency and safety.
Instill fuel efficient driving practices
Mitigating unwanted driving behaviours like speeding, harsh braking and unnecessary idling is a key component of effective fuel management. Send live, in-vehicle verbal feedback or buzzer alerts when drivers break pre-defined rules. Promote fuel efficient driving behaviours with driver coaching tools from the Geotab Marketplace.
How does a fuel management system help?
- Fuel consumption (fuel used and fuel used when idling)
- Fuel economy (the actual MPG)
- Fuel level
- True idling
- Engine faults, such as faulty oxygen sensor that reduce fuel efficiency
Fleet fuel management solutions from Geotab Marketplace
Track fleet fuel metrics that have a direct impact on your bottom line. Solutions include emissions and idling trend reports, overall fuel usage, and fuel card integration.
Commonly asked questions about fleet fuel management
How do you manage fuel for a fleet?
Fleet fuel management consists of:
• Monitoring driver behaviours that can have a negative effect on fuel efficiency, such as harsh speeding, acceleration and braking, and excessive idling.
• Gaining greater control of where and when fuel is purchased
• Optimising preventative maintenance schedules
• Utilising vehicle diagnostics data to practice proactive maintenance
• Rightsizing vehicles to their correct duty cycles
• Preventing fuel fraud by monitoring for excessive fuel usage patterns
Fleets that utilise fuel management systems benefit from increased operational efficiency and environmental performance, and reduced fuel costs.
How can I reduce my fleet fuel costs?
By using a fleet telematics system with fleet fuel management capabilities, you can take control of your fuel usage and significantly reduce costs. Fleet fuel management reduces fuel costs by increasing fuel efficiency. This involves:
• Proactively mitigating the misuse of resources and cutting unnecessary fuel costs through measuring, tracking and reporting on inefficient driving habits or the breaking of company policies
• Implementing a preventative and proactive maintenance programme that keeps vehicles running optimally in order to reduce excessive fuel consumption
• Controlling where and when fuel is purchased and drivers fill up, whether that’s at your depot or with fuel cards
What does a fuel management system do?
• Fuel consumption (fuel used and fuel used when idling)
• Fuel economy (the actual MPG)
• Fuel level
• True idling
• Engine faults, such as faulty oxygen sensor that reduce fuel efficiency
What are the advantages of Geotab's fleet fuel management software?
Fuel commonly accounts for between a quarter and a third of a fleet’s operating costs, so it is a vital element to gain control over.
Fuel management solutions, coupled with Geotab data, allow fleets to improve fuel efficiency in order to maximise cost savings. With a fleet fuel management system in place, you can decrease wasted fuel, put a hold on stolen fuel cards, approve or decline fuel transactions and prevent abuse of resources.
With MyGeotab you can easily monitor trends in fuel economy and other related metrics in one central location, right-size your fleet and improve fuel efficiency by maximising usage, finding shorter routes and advising drivers on the best places to stop for fuel.
How does Geotab's fuel management system work?
Geotab's fuel management system allows you to view fuel usage and fill trends, and view important engine data for proactive vehicle maintenance. It can be used to track important fuel metrics, such as:
- Monitoring fuel consumption (fuel consumed and percentage consumed while idling)
- Fuel economy (the actual average mileage)
- Fuel levels
- True idling time
- Engine failures, e.g. a faulty oxygen sensor
What is the purpose of a fuel monitoring system?
Fleets can determine optimal vehicle use and cost savings using fuel management tools. You can reduce wasted fuel, put a hold on stolen fuel cards, accept or refuse gasoline transactions and prevent resource abuse with a system in place.
You may also use one central site to simply compute fuel economy and other related metrics, right-size your fleet and enhance fuel efficiency by maximising usage, locate shorter routes and advise drivers on the best areas to stop for fuel.
What is a fuel card?
A fuel card, sometimes known as a fleet card, is a payment card that is often used at gas stations to pay for gasoline, diesel, and other fuels. At the option of the fleet owner or manager, fleet cards can also be used to pay for vehicle maintenance and expenses. The majority of gas cards are charge cards.
How can a fuel card be integrated into a fuel management system?
The convenient and thorough reporting that comes with using fleet cards allows fleet managers to obtain real-time reports and set purchasing limits. This allows them to remain on top of all business-related spending.

What is fuel management software?
The fleet fuel management software provides real-time feedback to the driver, immediately displaying related reports. The result is a direct increase in performance. The fuel management software is designed to reduce fleet costs by actively managing fuel consumption and optimising fleet efficiency.
What are the benefits of a fleet fuel monitoring system?
Fleet fuel management solutions, together with the data collected by the Geotab software, allow fleet managers to assess optimal vehicle use and save on operating costs. An integrated system helps reduce waste, curb the theft of fuel cards, approve or reject transactions, and prevent the misuse of resources.
It’s also possible to easily calculate savings and other related metrics from one central location, and to correctly scale the fleet and increase fuel efficiency by maximising vehicle use, identifying shorter routes, and advising drivers on the best stations at which to stop for refuelling.
How does fleet management help improve fuel economy?
Fleet management improves fuel efficiency by proactively preventing the misuse of resources and reducing unnecessary fuel costs through the measurement, monitoring and reporting of poor driving habits or breaches of company policy.
What is fuel management?
Fuel management software allows fleets to deliver real-time driver feedback, view at-a-glance fuel management reports and increase fuel efficiency. It is designed to help fleets save on costs by actively managing fuel use and increasing overall fuel efficiency.
What is a fuel management system?
A fuel management system helps you track your fleet’s fuel consumption and target areas for improvement. A fuel management system can help you reduce costs and your carbon footprint by tracking your CO2 emissions.
How can Geotab help with fuel management for my fleet?
Geotab’s fuel management system provides visibility into trends on fuel usage and fill-ups, plus access to critical engine data for proactive vehicle maintenance. It can be used to track key fuel metrics such as:
- Fuel consumption (fuel used and fuel used when idling)
- Fuel economy (the actual l/km)
- Fuel levels
- True idling
- Engine faults, such as faulty oxygen sensor and more
