Improving fuel efficiency is one of the most complicated jobs for fleet managers. Route planning, maintenance schedules, vehicle accessories and driver habits all affect fuel use and costs—and the impact of your operation on the environment. The Fleet Efficiency Tool (FET) can help you get the results you need.
The FET is an online resource that enables you to measure fuel consumption and identify opportunities to save money and reduce harmful vehicle emissions. Once you create a FET account, you’ll follow a four-step process to:
- Calculate your fleet’s actual fuel consumption baseline and related GHG emissions.
- Calculate potential energy savings that may result from vehicles choices, driver training and other energy efficiency actions.
- Create an action plan to reduce fuel use and cut costs.
- Measure the impact of your plan.
The FET includes extensive resources, including information on aerodynamic accessories, driver behaviour and vehicle maintenance. The FET also provides links to numerous national, provincial and municipal fuel reduction programs, tools and incentives.
