Navigating the deep blue, we understand the weight of fuel expenses on your shoulders. With the mighty engines, A/C, and heating systems aboard, isn’t it essential to ensure every drop counts?

If you are unfortunate enough to spend the whole summer in the office, here is a simple way to get yourself to a lake, river or even sea side. And if fortunate enough – even on a cruise, without spending any money on your side – no kidding!
And the trick here is this – you should start working with vessels. As most of my connections here are in vehicle telematics, this may seem as a big shift of a business activity, but in reality, it is not that different, and potentially a very lucrative market. And yes, you will hang around sea shore much more often!

Each one of us, who is involved in telematics (or let’s put it straight, any kind of business) familiar with the race – the constant search for new customers.
Hundreds of companies are being contacted, dozens are actually talking to you, and only a handful of these companies are actually willing to continue the talk, and who knows what will turn out of it.

Why actual fuel consumption in most of the cases differs from what automaker or central computer claims?
What is it – inevitable error or intentional skullduggery?
In reality, there is no global conspiracy on fuel use among car-makers. Everything is more or less simple – you cannot please everyone. Some people live in suburban Berlin, and usually stuck in traffic, others use their car only on highway. Someone lives in the mountains, while someone else is a taxi driver with all possible consequences. Someone travels alone, someone – only with passengers… We can continue forever.

In order to implement fuel control within GPS tracing solution, one can use 2 basic approaches: analyze info from the CANbus or use additional sensors. CANbus holds info from standard sensors, it easy to connect to it but info can be used only for general understanding of fuel usage on a vehicle, as inaccuracy can reach 10-15%. Special fuel sensors take more time for installation, but accrued data can be used for precise driver style analyzing, fuel theft prevention and as a reliable source of info for general fuel saving procedures.
