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:

• Howard Abrams, president of Sokolis Group

• Brian Antonellis, CTP, senior vice president, fleet operations, Fleet Advantage.

Abrams and Antonellis will tackle the topics of how truck fleets can cut their fuel costs during the purchasing and management process, rather than just by reducing fuel consumption. Sokolis Group provides fuel-management services. Fleet Advantage provides flexible leasing and lifecycle management services. The webinar will be moderated by David Cullen, HDT contributing business/Washington editor.
