Reduce Fleet Idle Time
Engine idling costs 3-5 liters/hour per truck. Tralogit automatically detects excessive idling and helps you reduce this waste.
The Problem
An idling truck burns 3 to 5 liters of diesel per hour without producing any useful work. For a fleet of 20 vehicles with an average of 1 hour of idling per day, that's over $50,000 in wasted fuel per year.
Idling is often invisible: drivers leave engines running during breaks, loading, and client waits. Without precise measurement, the problem stays hidden in monthly fuel totals.
The Tralogit Solution
Tralogit's OBD device detects idling automatically: engine on, speed = 0, duration over 2 minutes.
The equipment utilization dashboard shows idle hours per vehicle and per driver. You immediately identify who is burning fuel unnecessarily.
Excessive idling alerts are sent in real time to managers. The cost of fuel burned at idle is automatically calculated in the project cost report.
By combining idle tracking with driver safety scoring, you create a measurable efficiency program.
