Both private and public sector fleets rely on managing bulk fuel efficiently. Because of this, both sectors focus on creating a manageable budget. For public fleets, there is an added factor having to work with government funding. With this in mind, public fleets could look to the private sector for ways to enhance efficiency and cost-savings.<\/p>\n

How private fleets manage their fuel<\/h2>\n

Many private sector fleets outsource their fuel management or have a dedicated employee or department. Supplier and distribution decisions, dispatching, ordering, and invoicing are all parts of this management. Two of the main benefits of either choice are centralized fuel management and optimized supply decisions.<\/p>\n

What is centralized fuel management?<\/h2>\n

For managers that have to take care of multiple fleets, centralized fuel management can help save a significant amount of time. Commercial fleet managers can better handle fuel cost volatility, make decisions for all fleets at one time, and reduce the capital of these costs.<\/p>\n

For public sector fleets, these benefits (and more) are not difficult to acquire. As a fleet manager, you can use a combination of fueling delivery\/storage and fleet cards. This will help you track and distribute resources to all vehicles with more precision. Smaller municipalities can see decreased management costs as well by working with the right supplier.<\/p>\n

Optimizing supply decisions to save on fuel costs<\/h2>\n

You do not have to be an expert in the oil and gas industry to optimize your fuel management decisions and processes. By understanding your buying options and the most recent technologies, you should be able to start saving. Private companies use a variety of methods to purchase bulk fuel for their fleets.<\/p>\n
