What is fuel efficiency?

Fuel efficiency calculates how far a vehicle can go on one litre of petrol or diesel. The best speed for the lowest fuel consumption for most passenger cars and LCVs is roughly 40 to 50 miles per hour (mph). Driving faster than 50 mph increases aerodynamic drag and reduces fuel efficiency.

How is fuel efficiency measured?

Officials typically use metric data to measure fuel efficiency: litres per 100 kilometres, or L/km. Calcu­la­tions for fuel efficiency vary by vehicle type, along with factors such as weight and tyre performance. The average fuel consumption for an HCV with a trailer is 30 L/100 km, translating to 39,000 litres per year.

Studies show that fuel represents up to 38% of a fleet's total cost of ownership. So, fuel efficiency is key to cutting operational costs. A fuel-ef­fi­cient fleet is a more sustainable fleet: the more efficiently your vehicles consume fuel, the more you reduce your fleet's CO2 emissions.

Improve your fleet's fuel efficiency by combining fleet management skills with digital solutions. Choose tools that help you optimise driver performance (behaviours like speed and idling determine fuel consumption), route planning, vehicle maintenance and tyre performance. With a fleet management system like Webfleet, you can easily analyse real-time and historical data on fuel consumption.

A fuel management solution helps fleet owners and managers get better control of their fleet's fuel consumption and improve the fleet's fuel efficiency. A telematics solution integrates hardware and software, offering powerful reporting capab­il­ities on fuel use. Webfleet can help you save up to 15% on fuel with fuel management features like profes­sional route planning and OptiDrive 360, which assesses driving behaviour and provides drivers with active performance feedback.
