Burlington, MA, June 15, 2004 - Maptuit® Corporation, a provider of transportation optimization solutions for the trucking industry, today announced the release of FleetNav Fuel™ 2.0. The newest release of FleetNav Fuel 2.0 offers the trucking industry with a solution to reduce rising fuel prices, by providing truck drivers with optimized fuel plans and management with detailed compliance reports to ensure optimal savings.
“Maptuit understands that diesel fuel is one of the top expenses for trucking companies,” stated Jeff Papows, CEO of Maptuit. “With our latest release of FleetNav Fuel 2.0, trucking companies are able to generate the most cost-effective fuel plans for their drivers, accompanied with detailed compliance reports for their management team to intelligently manage fuel plans and reduce fuel costs.”
The new release of FleetNav Fuel 2.0 includes:
Optimized fuel plans Current fuel price data from leading providers Easy-to-use fuel network management utility Integration of multiple fuel networks Detailed fuel compliance reports Real-time monitoring of actual fuel purchases Seamless integration with FleetNav Alert™ and FleetNav Directions™
Maptuit's FleetNav Fuel 2.0 integrates with FleetNav Directions to provide drivers with optimized fuel plans integrated within concise truck-to-door directions. These fuel plans are developed from a sophisticated algorithm that calculates all critical parameters - current location of vehicle, current fuel level, vehicle's fuel consumption, current fuel prices within fuel network, and the location of final destination — and then uses this information to develop a least-cost fuel plan for the driver, sub-fleet or entire fleet. Fuel parameters can be adjusted on a truck-by-truck basis.
FleetNav 2.0 integrates seamlessly with FleetNav Alert offering management daily and historical compliance reports. This reporting capability allows management to track actual fuel transactions against the fuel plans at the driver, sub-fleet or fleet level. Management is then able to use FleetNav Fuel as a means to monitor driver compliance within the fuel network and ensure optimal fuel savings.
Maptuit's FleetNav Suite of tools provides trucking companies with a solution to help increase efficiencies and improve their bottom line through intelligent routing, fuel optimization and fleet monitoring capabilities. These tools enable back-office staff to manage customer locations and monitor fleet performance from any computer with Internet access. It is a subscription-based solution that integrates with all leading fleet management and mobile communications systems to provide a comprehensive transportation optimization solution.
