Fuel is typically the largest controllable cost in any fleet — often 30–40% of total running expenses. Modern GPS trackers with fuel monitoring give fleet managers the data to identify waste, reduce unnecessary consumption, and catch fuel theft before it becomes a significant loss. Here is how it works and what you can expect to save. How Do GPS Trackers Monitor Fuel? There are two main methods. CAN bus integration: Teltonika and Queclink GPS trackers with CAN bus support con

GPS tracking your fleet is completely legal in the UK — but it must be done correctly. The UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018 set clear rules about how you collect, use, and store location data from your employees' vehicles.

Knowing which driver is behind the wheel at any given moment is essential for compliance with UK working time regulations, accurate mileage allocation, insurance liability, and effective driver behaviour monitoring. Driver ID keypads — small PIN-entry or RFID fob devices mounted in the cab — solve this problem elegantly. In this guide, we'll explain how driver id

Who's driving? Know your fleet

Fleet managers across the UK face the same challenge: you can have the best route planning software, efficient vehicles, and a structured dispatch operation — but if you do not know exactly who is behind the wheel and how they are driving, you are operating blind. Driver behaviour is one of the biggest variables in fleet performance, directly affecting fuel costs, accident rates, vehicle wear, insurance premiums, and regulatory compliance.
