Cut your monthly fuel bill with Axle FMS
With the new Federal Carbon Tax coming into effect in early 2012, it's in your best interest to reduce your fleet's fuel usage as much as possible. This not only saves your bottom line but marks you as a greener business, a trait many of your clients will look for.
Regardless of whether you have a large or small fleet, fuel will always remain one of your most expensive operational costs. In fact, fuel prices have increased steadily over the years and will continue to do so as demand increases and fuel supplies continue to dwindle worldwide.
Did you know?
- Efficient drivers can get approximately 30% better mileage per litre than their least efficient colleagues.
- The average long-haul truck uses over $3,900 of fuel per year idling.

A variety of factors, including weather, aerodynamics, vehicle type, tire pressure and maintenance practices can affect fuel consumption, but there are several others—that with the right technology—you can easily control:
- Excessive idling.
- Speeding.
- Routing and navigation.
With Axle FMS, you can decrease your fuel use by leveraging fuel consumption and idling reports, reduce excessive speeding with per vehicle alerts, optimizing fleet routes and driver behaviour.
