Efficient Driving: How Driver Behavior Affects Fuel Consumption?

Driver behavior has a direct impact on fleet performance. Inadequate driving practices can significantly raise operational costs, increase accident risk, and, most importantly, drive up fuel consumption. With Intelligis' expertise as an authorized Geotab distributor in Central America, companies can leverage the MyGeotab platform to identify and correct these driving habits, maximizing the efficiency and sustainability of their operations.

Impact of Driving Habits on Fleet Efficiency

With rising fuel prices, it is crucial for companies to understand how driving behavior affects consumption. For this reason, organizations are investing in telematics systems that allow them to:

• Train drivers more effectively
• Obtain detailed information and continuous tracking of vehicles
• Optimize driving habits
• Reduce related costs

Behaviors That Increase Fuel Consumption

Certain behaviors directly affect fuel performance:

• Speeding
• Harsh braking and sudden stops
• Worn-out or poorly calibrated tires
• Lack of maintenance on key components such as the engine and brakes
• Aggressive driving

Aggressive driving, according to studies, can increase fuel consumption by 20% to 30%. This happens because driving at high speeds requires the engine to exert additional effort to maintain pace, leading to higher fuel consumption.

How Telematics Helps Improve Driving Habits

Through Geotab telematics, implemented by Intelligis, it is possible to detect inefficient driving patterns, such as high speeds or excessive braking, that not only increase fuel consumption but also accelerate fleet wear. MyGeotab allows companies to implement safe and economical driving practices through continuous monitoring, providing access to real-time data and historical reports that help improve fleet performance.

Driving Behavior Analysis: A Tool for Fleet Managers

With MyGeotab, Intelligis offers a comprehensive solution for fleet managers to analyze their drivers' habits, monitor fuel performance, and make data-driven decisions. Managers can:

• Monitor fuel performance and compare it to consumption standards.
• Evaluate average speed and acceleration and braking patterns.
• Identify which drivers need training in defensive and efficient driving.

Intelligis offers an integrated solution for optimizing fuel consumption through the MyGeotab platform, enabling thorough analysis of driving habits and facilitating the implementation of safe and economical driving practices. With the MyGeotab system, companies can:

• Monitor fuel consumption, even when the engine is on, but the vehicle is stationary.
• Evaluate fuel economy with accurate metrics like kilometers per liter.
• Monitor fuel levels and engine idle time.
• Identify failures in critical components like the oxygen sensor that affect consumption.
