Key Takeaway / Highlight
Curb diesel leakage by reconciliating HPCL/BPCL slip volumes with odometer entries and route-based average KMPL metrics.
Diesel: A Major Fleet Expense
Fuel represents a significant portion of operational costs in mining transport. Due to heavy loads and unpaved roads, tracking fuel consumption across your fleet is essential to maintaining profitability.
Without detailed fuel logs, it is difficult to identify vehicle inefficiencies or detect diesel siphoning.
Building a Reliable Fuel Audit System
An effective diesel management strategy requires tracking three key points: refuel volume, trip distance, and route conditions.
Logging odometer readings at each refill allows the system to calculate the KMPL (Kilometers Per Liter) for each vehicle. The software then highlights trucks that deviate from their route average.
