DKV Mobility: smarter fuel management in uncertain times
DKV Mobility has explained how its portfolio of solutions can help fleets cut costs using real-time insights.
“In today’s challenging transport environment, every penny counts,” said Neil White, country manager UK for DKV Mobility.
“With fluctuating fuel prices and tighter margins, UK fleet operators are under increasing pressure to manage costs more effectively. For many, however, fuel management remains reactive rather than proactive. This is a missed opportunity.”
Despite fuel being one of the largest operating costs for truck fleets, says Neil, many transport companies still rely on retrospective overviews.
“Monthly fuel bills may highlight total expenditure. However, they rarely explain why certain vehicles or routes incur higher costs. Nor do they indicate when things start to go wrong.
“For example, if one of your fuel cards is used fraudulently, you may not realise until the monthly invoice arrives. By then, significant costs could already have been incurred. Similarly, if one vehicle consistently uses a more expensive fuel station than others on the same route, this pattern might go undetected for weeks.
“Without real-time data, it’s hard to identify inefficient fuelling behaviours, spot potential misuse, or take timely corrective action.”
The company offers a solution, he explains, in the form of real-time fuel monitoring with DKV Analytics.
“DKV Mobility offers more than just a fuel card. Online tools such as DKV Analytics and DKV Cockpit provide transport companies with access to live data on fuel transactions, consumption trends and driver behaviour.
“These tools are designed for planners and fleet managers who want to make data-driven decisions quickly.
“With DKV Analytics, you can monitor fuel costs per vehicle or driver in real time, detect unusual refuelling behaviour immediately, benchmark internal best practices, and optimise route and refuelling strategies based on actual usage data. The tool also supports sustainability goals by enabling CO₂ emissions tracking and reporting.”
These insights not only save on fuel, says Neil, but also reduce the administrative burden.
“Instead of sifting through spreadsheets or invoices, fleet managers get clear dashboards and alerts that support smarter decision-making from day one. And with DKV Mobility, you also benefit from one convenient monthly invoice that combines all fuel transactions, tolls and services in one transparent overview. It’s one more way in which time can be saved and control maintained.
“In an industry where margins are tight and disruptions are frequent, real-time visibility is not just a bonus, it’s a competitive advantage. Whether you manage a national haulage operation or an international logistics fleet, DKV Mobility provides the tools you need to make smarter fuel decisions.”
