Free Download of Enhancing Miles Per Gallon E-Book

The U.S. trucking industry is critical to the economy, moving over 72% of the nation's freight by weight. And with fleet operating costs per mile trending upward, it's no surprise that fuel expenses stand out as a primary contributor.

When even pennies per gallon add up, the cost savings from increasing fuel economy and minimizing fuel consumption become significant. In addition, exploring benchmarks, reference points, and actionable strategies can help fleets identify best practices and enhance fuel efficiency.

In this new whitepaper we highlight:

  • The current state of fuel efficiency in the trucking industry
  • Factors affecting the efficiency of fuel
  • Best practices for improving fuel economy
  • The role of alternative fuels
  • Industry-specific MPG concerns
  • Tips for successfully implementing fuel efficiency strategies

Minor improvements in fuel economy can result in significant cost savings, extended equipment life, improved safety, and increased sustainability as federal and state regulations tighten.

Download the whitepaper, Advancing Fleet Fuel Efficiency: Enhancing Miles Per Gallon, and learn how Penske’s Fleet Benchmarking tool allows fleet managers to measure key performance indicators and compare their fleet to fleets with similar operations and equipment to identify areas for improving fuel economy.

Learn About Telematics Use and Trends

The "2022 Telematics Use and Trends" study examines who is using telematics devices and how fleet decision makers choose technology and use the information it generates. It found that fleets are using information from telematics devices in several ways, from increasing productivity and improving maintenance tracking, to reducing their fuel spend.

Learn more about how fleets are using telematics and what factors influence their device selection.

"With an increased focus on technology, the whole digital experience becomes more crucial. Solutions need to be simple to use and intuitive. People want to know what critical information they need to act on."

~ "2022 Telematics Use and Trends"

Top Findings

  • Larger fleets, and those with more complex business operations, are adopting telematics devices at a higher rate than small fleets.
  • Fleets covering more territory are more likely to use telematics than fleets with coverage in just one territory.
  • Two-thirds of decision makers said they shop telematics solutions across multiple providers, with larger fleets appearing to weigh their options more carefully than small and medium fleets.
  • Cost is among the most important factor influencing purchasing decisions. Decision makers also look at ease of installation and feature availability.
  • More than three-fourths of fleets – 75% – share telematics data with at least one fleet management service provider.
