Fuel misappropriation is often a fleet's most invisible loss. Tank siphoning, double billing at the pump, off-site transactions: these leaks go unnoticed with self-reported tracking.

How Fleeti cross-checks data to manage the fuel bill

Reducing a fuel bill means measuring the right indicator. Fleeti cross-checks four independent data sources to produce a reliable view that is hard to get around. That is what sets Fleeti apart from purely accounting-based or purely CAN bus solutions.

Why the Europe and Africa perspective changes the fuel picture

A fleet operating on both continents faces very different fuel issues from one country to the next. Fleeti handles these four families of issues natively, with no separate platform or manual consolidated reporting.

Theft and siphoning in Africa

Theft and siphoning in Africa

On construction sites and remote industrial sites in West Africa, diesel siphoning remains one of the leading causes of asset loss. An organised parallel market, inside involvement and unguarded sites: Fleeti's physical probe and night-time alerts form an anti-siphoning solution designed for this context, including on parked trucks and machinery.

Fleeti consolidates cost per km, breaks it down by vehicle and site, feeds Scope 1 and Scope 3 carbon reporting, and complements ANTAI designation for incidents linked to business travel.

Frequently asked questions about reducing fleet fuel costs

How much can a company reduce fuel costs with fleet management software?
Companies with a full telematics solution see their fuel budget fall by 15 to 25% on average in the first year. A Frost & Sullivan study puts the upper end at 25% on average. Results depend on the starting point: a fleet with no tracking at all will gain more than one that is already partly equipped. The first gains show in the second month for eco-driving and in the first month for anomaly detection.
What practical levers reduce a business fleet's fuel bill?
Effective fuel management software activates four complementary levers. Theft and siphoning detection recovers 3 to 10% of the budget on exposed fleets. Eco-driving cuts consumption by 10 to 20% by changing driver behaviour. Reducing idling and unnecessary kilometres adds 5 to 15% savings. Fuel card cross-checks detect 2 to 5% pump fraud. None of these levers is enough on its own; together they reach the 15 to 25% range.
How do you detect fuel theft or siphoning in a fleet?
Reliable detection combines three elements. A physical tank probe measures the fuel actually in the vehicle, independently of engine data. Real-time alerts are triggered by abnormal level drops, especially outside working hours or at remote sites. Automatic cross-checks with fuel card transactions reveal gaps between what is paid for and what reaches the tank. A solution relying only on the vehicle's CAN bus will not see a tank being siphoned while parked.
What is the difference between CAN bus data and a fuel probe for tracking consumption?
The CAN bus reports consumption as calculated by the vehicle's on-board computer. This is accurate on recent equipped vehicles, but it does not see the fuel in the tank: if the level drops while the engine is off, the CAN bus does not flag it. A physical tank probe measures the fuel level directly and alerts you to any abnormal drop, including when parked. The two sources complement each other. On a fleet exposed to fuel theft, in construction or at remote sites, the probe is essential. For light vehicles in urban areas, the CAN bus alone may be enough.
How long does it take for a fuel solution to pay for itself?
A fuel solution usually pays for itself in two to six months, depending on fleet size and the gap between the starting point and the optimisation potential. Fleets most exposed to theft and those with high idling see the fastest ROI, often in two to three months. Fleets already well managed reach ROI in six months, mainly through eco-driving and route optimisation. Fleeti's three-step method activates the high-impact levers in the first weeks.
How do tyre pressure and maintenance affect fuel consumption?
Tyre pressure is a discreet but real lever: about 20% of van tyres run significantly under-inflated, increasing fuel consumption by 2.5% on average. Preventive maintenance plays the same indirect role: a poorly maintained vehicle (clogged air filter, dirty injectors, wrong oil) uses more fuel. Fleeti triggers preventive maintenance alerts from actual mileage, engine time and OBD fault codes, and the tyre module flags abnormal pressure loss. Two levers that complement the four main ones, to activate in parallel.
