Fuel consumption is more than just an operational cost—it’s a window into your equipment's performance, condition, and even site security. At FuelTrackr, we understand the vital importance of managing fuel efficiently, and our comparison feature delivers insights by allowing users to evaluate fuel consumption across equipment classes and within specific classes. And we deliver all of this without the high cost of OEM telematic solutions.
Realize the Value in Your Fleet Data
Comparing fuel consumption isn’t just about numbers; it's about understanding the story behind those numbers. FuelTrackr’s detailed comparison tools let you benchmark your fleet’s fuel usage, revealing patterns and discrepancies that might otherwise go unnoticed. With today’s thin margins, managing fuel costs can significantly impact profitability.
Gain Clarity with Class-Based Comparisons
Different types of equipment naturally have different fuel consumption rates. By comparing consumption across different classes of equipment—like bulldozers, excavators, or loaders—you gain immediate insights into expected fuel usage patterns. For instance, equipment operating in tougher conditions, such as rugged terrain or extended operational hours, is expected to consume more fuel compared to those in lighter tasks or easier environments. It can also be an indicator that the wrong equipment is at the job, for example, under normal operating conditions you’d expect a trenching job to have excavators with high fuel usage while trenching deep in rocky soil, but the loaders moving the spoil a short distance should have a much lower fuel consumption rate. If this was flipped, that job has parts that aren’t going to plan and should be investigated to ensure that it is executed as efficiently as possible.

Identify Outliers within Equipment Classes
FuelTrackr goes even deeper by enabling you to compare fuel consumption within the same class of equipment. When certain units deviate significantly from their peers, it provides a critical alert that something may be amiss. These deviations could signify potential mechanical issues, unauthorized usage, or even fuel theft at the site. Early detection is key to addressing problems before they escalate into expensive repairs or significant losses.
Proactive Maintenance and Security
Regular fuel consumption comparisons can reveal subtle trends that indicate larger underlying issues. If a particular excavator is consistently consuming more fuel than others in similar conditions, it could indicate maintenance issues such as fuel leaks, inefficient combustion, or excessive engine wear. FuelTrackr helps you identify quickly and decisively.
Optimize Operations with Precision
With FuelTrackr’s fuel consumption comparison feature, users gain powerful, actionable insights:
- Enhance efficiency by quickly identifying underperforming equipment.
- Reduce unexpected costs through proactive identification of equipment issues.
- Improve security by spotting discrepancies indicative of theft or misuse.
By turning your fuel consumption data into actionable intelligence, FuelTrackr ensures your fleet operates at peak efficiency, security, and profitability.
