We’ve just outfitted our bulldozers, excavators, and haul trucks with telematics units, and I’m looking to leverage that data specifically to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. What telematics platforms excel at real‑time fuel monitoring, idling alerts, and driver behavior analysis? How have others tied fuel‑based thresholds into their CMMS or ERP systems to automate service triggers (e.g., fuel‑filter changes, engine tuning)? Any case studies showing measurable fuel savings or ROI would be very helpful!
Using Samsara’s in‑cab coaching feature, drivers receive immediate audio alerts on harsh braking or aggressive throttle. Those events feed into a monthly “eco‑score” leaderboard. We tie that score into small incentives—gift cards or an extra day off. In three months, average eco‑scores improved by 30%, and we saw a corresponding drop in fuel usage of roughly 3 L/hour per machine during typical operation.
