There are two ways to save on fuel. The first is to burn less of it by spec’ing efficient vehicles and by training and motivating drivers to more fuel-efficient performance. The second is to go beyond miles per gallon numbers and buy fuel for less to begin with.
To deep-dive into the management methods and technologies that can cut fuel spend, the editors of HDT will present a complimentary webinar on how to go beyond MPG performance on July 20 at 2 p.m. EDT/11 a.m. PDT.
The expert speakers for the “Beyond MPG” webinar are:
