Datafuel Vehicle Automation System (VAS) Rolled Out

« Back | 04-Oct-2011

Datafuel has rolled out its new Vehicle Automation System. This comprises onboard “Vehicle Unit” (VU) which electronically records Fleet Number and Odometer reading with data transferred to console via upgraded reader. 

Several hundred “Vehicle Units” have now been installed working at multiple customer sites. 

Extensive field-testing with co-development customers has ensured a reliable product offering.

One of the benefits of implementing a Datafuel system is the reduction in administrative errors compared with written records. Recent implementation of the VAS technology at one site, which previously used manual log sheets, revealed the following:

-         Identification of errors in the accuracy of vehicle odometers
-         A 5% error rate in transaction data records

These errors were eliminated after the installation of the Datafuel VAS.

The VAS accuracy revealed other issues involving manual service processes and the electronic recording enabled accurate and easy data transfer to back office applications.

Datafuel’s VAS can be used in multi-diesel pump/single Adblue pump configurations, and can also integrate with a number of site access control systems.
