Fleet GPS tracking

Tracking system payback: subscription and hardware vs fuel, mileage and idle savings

Parameters

Vehicles in fleet

Fuel per vehicle/month, €

GPS fee/vehicle/month, €

Hardware per vehicle, € (one-time)

Fuel saving, % (typical 5–15)

Other savings/vehicle/month, € (fewer side trips, idle)

Result

System cost/month€120

Savings/month€2800

Hardware payback0.6 mo

Net yearly effect€30660

Real savings come from three sources: fuel (siphoning and idle control), mileage (fewer side trips), discipline (idle, speed → wear). Systems without fuel sensors give only disciplinary effect — budget 3–5%, with level sensors 8–15%.
