This program created a partnership between Holman and the company that focused on 4 essential elements for controlling fuel costs.<\/p>\n<h3>Approach<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Develop and implement a Fuel Management Policy \u2013 this becomes the foundation of the company\u2019s expectations for drivers and operators who are fueling vehicles and equipment.<\/li>\n<li>Introduce an MPG (miles per gallon) improvement plan \u2013 through focused reporting and analysis, we were able to identify the \u201cbest of the best\u201d and \u201cworst of the worst\u201d in terms of MPG results across different asset groups. We supported that analysis with consistent communication to the frontline with strategies and best practices for improving this important metric.<\/li>\n<li>Introduce a CPG (cost per gallon) improvement plan \u2013 on any given day, there will likely be a significant variation in retail fuel prices from one merchant to another. By using some simple tools that we introduced to the fleet, drivers are now able to choose lower cost alternatives.<\/li>\n<li>Monitor fuel card use \u2013 watching areas of potential abuse and error. Holding drivers accountable for their fuel card habits has created a \u201cripple effect\u201d across the fleet.<\/li>\n<li>8,000 Units enrolled on the program.<\/li>\n<li>18 Months in improvement of MPG.<\/li>\n<li>$1M in actual savings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Projected Savings\/ Benefits and Results to Date<\/h3>\n<p>With more than <strong>8,000 units<\/strong> enrolled, this proactive program has paid dividends to the company in terms of reduced fuel consumption and savings.\u00a0 Holman has assisted this customer tohave <strong>document more than $1 million in actual savings<\/strong>\u00a0 in 18 months.\u00a0 This has been accomplished mainly through an improvement of MPG, but also capturing real dollars in a relative (to market averages) reduction of the cost of fuel. Holman has transitioned from an administrative supporter of the fuel card program to a true consultative partner as we work together with the company to continue driving these costs down.<\/p>\n<p>Whether there&#8217;s a need for <a href=\"\/fleet-management\/\">fleet-related expertise<\/a>, <a href=\"\/vehicle-upfitting-equipment\/\">vehicle upfitting<\/a>, parts and logistics, vehicle sales, insurance or risk management \u2013 our seamlessly integrated teams and systems will help you reach the best solution. <a href=\"\/contact\/\">Contact us<\/a> today to learn more.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n    <style>.wysiwyg{margin-top:0 !important;}<\/style>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> &lt; 1<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minute<\/span><\/span>","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":17480,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[106],"blog-type":[91],"featured":[89],"legacy":[97],"class_list":["post-7004","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fleet-management","tag-customer-stories","blog-type-customer-story","featured-no","legacy-yes"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ca.holman.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7004","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ca.holman.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ca.holman.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ca.holman.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ca.holman.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7004"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/ca.holman.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7004\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17895,"href":"https:\/\/ca.holman.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7004\/revisions\/17895"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ca.holman.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17480"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ca.holman.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7004"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ca.holman.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7004"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ca.holman.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7004"},{"taxonomy":"blog-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ca.holman.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/blog-type?post=7004"},{"taxonomy":"featured","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ca.holman.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/featured?post=7004"},{"taxonomy":"legacy","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ca.holman.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/legacy?post=7004"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
