Complete Leasing & Fleet Management Solutions
Managing over 2600 vehicles means managing a very large quantity of fuel. The rising cost of gasoline over recent months, has the potential of driving up vehicle operating costs. To help reduce gas consumption, Fleet Vehicles Agency (FLEET) suggests the following be considered:
- Check out our Preferred Fuel Vendors list for maximum cost savings.
- Have the right vehicle for the job. Sometimes a compact vehicle can perform the task as easily as a full size vehicle. FLEET can assist with the specification.
- Promote pooled vehicle use within and between organizations. Why have three vehicles travel to a job site when two will do?
- FLEET can supply exception reports to assist departments monitor abnormal fuel consumption. Poor vehicle condition or poor driving habits can be identified.
- Keep your vehicle well maintained. FLEET's Preventive Maintenance Program will assist with this important aspect.
- Discuss with FLEET the installation of mesh tailgates, where applicable, to reduce drag and increase fuel efficiency.
- Determine if benefits are available through the use of alternate fuels such as natural gas, propane, or diesel. FLEET can assist with this decision.
- Think about other ways to conserve fuel and forward ideas to your Vehicle Coordinator and/or FLEET.
