Transport Intelligence • TR-02
Fuel Control
Explain every litre between the pump and the engine.
Scope
What the engagement covers.
Fuel is the largest variable fleet cost and the easiest to lose. Level sensing, refuelling detection and consumption modelling turn fuel from an estimate into a controlled measure.
Included capabilities
- Tank level sensing with refuelling and drain event detection
- Consumption modelling by vehicle class, load and route profile
- Refuelling reconciliation against fuel card and site records
- Drain and siphoning alerting with location and time evidence
- Cost per kilometre and per tonne-kilometre reporting
Outputs and deliverables
- Sensor installation and calibration records
- Consumption baseline per vehicle class
- Reconciliation and exception reporting
- Fuel loss reduction tracking
Workflow
How it is delivered, step by step.
Each step has an owner, an entry condition and an artefact that has to exist before the next step begins.
01InstallLevel sensors and flow measurement calibrated per tank.
02BaselineConsumption norms per vehicle class, load and route.
03DetectRefuelling, drain and anomaly events with evidence capture.
04ReconcileMatch events against card transactions and site dispensing.
05InvestigateException workflow with driver and supervisor accountability.
Use cases
Where this is typically applied.
Long-haul operations with unsupervised refuelling
Operators needing accurate cost per tonne-kilometre
Delivery model
The operating pattern for Transport Intelligence.
The same delivery discipline applies across every capability in this line, so combined engagements stay coherent.
Baseline
Fleet profile, incident history, fuel variance and route patterns.
Fit
On-board units, cameras, sensors and calibration per vehicle class.
Tune
Event thresholds, scoring weights and false-positive reduction.
Engage
Driver coaching cycle, league tables and supervisor routines.
Sustain
Monthly review, refresher coaching and continuous threshold tuning.
Integration
- ERP, TMS and payroll for trip, cost and incentive data.
- Maintenance systems for fault codes and service scheduling.
- HR and training records so coaching outcomes are recorded against the driver.
- Customer portals for delivery visibility where contracts require it.
Engagement approach
The programme is only credible if drivers see it as coaching rather than surveillance, so rollout includes driver briefings, an agreed scoring model and a defined appeals path.
