Will installing a GPS Tracking device reduce my Fuel expense?

If a truck travels an average distance of 8,000 kms in a month at a speed of 50km/hour the total diesel consumption for the trip may be 2,000 liters, considering an average fuel efficiency of 4km/liter. With the prevalent price of Rs 70/ liter for diesel, the fleet owner is spending a staggering Rs 1,40,000 on just fuel expenses in a month.

If the truck is being driven at a higher speed of 70-80km/hour, this can result in a fuel efficiency drop of approximately 8%. Hence the fleet owner will now require an additional 210 liters of diesel to cover the same distance (8,000 / (4 – 4×8%). The cost increase of Rs 14,000+ for extra fuel per truck per month will cascade with increase of every truck added in your fleet. With all the feedback received from the GPS device (over-speeding incidents, unauthorized stoppages, harsh braking etc.) fleet owners can bring about an improvement in driving habits over time by incentivizing drivers with a portion of the savings realized. As one can see, all that is required to pay back for the investment made in GPS enabling a truck is a mere 3% of the Rs 14,000+ savings possible through just better driving. The actual savings realised may well exceed 25% of the monthly saving potential of Rs 14,000 spent on additional fuel or Rs 3,500 per truck per month.
