Frequently Asked Questions
Straightforward answers to the most common questions fleet managers ask about the 20 Percent Fuel program.
Our drivers already drive well. Why would we need this?
Even experienced drivers develop inefficient habits over time such as unnecessary idling, aggressive acceleration, or inconsistent speed. Eco‑driving programs help correct these habits. Published fleet case studies show that structured programs can produce meaningful fuel savings, with several larger fleets reporting results above 10%.
We already use telematics and track our vehicles. Why would we need this?
Telematics systems are very useful for tracking fuel consumption and driving behaviour. However, telematics shows the data — it does not automatically change driver habits. The 20 Percent Fuel Toolkit complements telematics by helping drivers adopt more efficient driving practices.
Do fleets need special equipment?
No. The system focuses on improving driver behaviour and operational habits.
How quickly can results appear?
Most fleets can establish a baseline in the first 2 weeks and begin seeing measurable improvements within 1‑3 months.
How much manager time is required?
Most fleets need about 2–3 hours to get started, then around 15–30 minutes per week. We keep the process structured and lightweight, with templates and review points that fit around normal fleet operations. Typical manager time after setup: 15–30 minutes per week.
Will drivers accept eco‑driving training?
Eco‑driving training focuses on practical techniques that make driving smoother, safer, and more efficient. Many fleets find that drivers respond positively when they understand how these habits reduce vehicle wear and improve overall efficiency. The toolkit also includes a Motivation and Recognition system, including the Fleet EcoChampion challenge, designed to reward drivers who demonstrate efficient driving habits. This positive approach helps increase engagement and maintain long‑term improvements in fuel efficiency.
How much does the system cost?
Pricing depends on the level of support you need, from toolkit‑only options to more hands‑on implementation support. Please see the pricing page or contact us for the best fit for your fleet.
What fuel savings could look like?
Example only, assuming about $8,000 annual fuel spend per vehicle and a 10–20% reduction:
20 vehicles → $16,000 – $32,000 saved per year
50 vehicles → $40,000 – $80,000 saved per year
100 vehicles → $80,000 – $160,000 saved per year
