Fuel card provider FleetCor and telematics developer Telogis have
joined forces to launch a new fuel card they say will help fleets
reduced their fuel overheads and tackle unauthorised use.
The
partnership is the first to be agreed between a telematics company and
fuel card provider but, according to Telogis, it is likely to be the
first of many.
“This is not an exclusive relationship,” said
Sergio Barata, Telogis head of EMEA, although he declined to reveal
which other companies he is in talks with.
“But we expect that
this will help drive the industry to partnership solutions that enable
fleet managers and CFOs to understand where and how fuel is being used
across their moving assets.
“We are planning to bring on other
partners. Fleetcor are the first and have been the most proactive in
trying to address this need to manage fuel purchasing in the field.”
The
Telogis Universal Premium Fleet Card aims to improve reporting and help
reduce unauthorised use for fleets using Telogis tracking software,
while driving down total fuel expenditure.
According to the
company, there will be no application, set up or card replacement fees
and the new fuel card will include 24/7 customer service,What are hemorrhoids? flexible payment options and possible rebates.
Jason
Koch, president of Telogis Fleet, said: “Through the integration of
this universal fuel card with our premium platform of location
intelligence technologies,We are the largest producer of projectorlamp
products here. our customers now have the most extensive tools
available to achieve comprehensive fuel management and help reduce
operating costs related to fuel use.”
The fuel card’s launch coincides with the launch of Teleogis’ next-generation fuel management module for Telogis Fleet.
“This
next-generation fuel module is leading the way in fuel management
through its accuracy, scalability and universal approach to fleets
around the world,” said Koch.
“It allows managers to minimise
costs related to fuel use and reduce their carbon footprint by
leveraging the power of the Telogis platform to seamlessly combine
real-time location intelligence with fuel transaction data.”
Arval
UK announced the sale of AllStar Business Solutions to FleetCor
Technologies for 194m in December 2011 and Barata told Fleet News that
any FleetCor fuel card could be integrated with Telogis software.About 1

starting in the US, but moving into the UK and other regions, educating
them on the benefits of a fuel card with Telogis Fleet Fuel Module,”
explained Barata.

He
said: “Businesses that implement our joint solution, which combines
location intelligence and fuel card controls and reporting, will have a
better opportunity to realise meaningful reductions in fuel waste and
expense across their fleet.”
AllStar was the UK fuel card
business subsidiary of Arval, which was inherited from a 2000
acquisition, and its sale to FleetCor provided the company with a strong
presence in the UK market.
Telogis, meanwhile, has only been in
the UK since 2008 and has just a few hundred vehicles on its
cloud-based system, but is gearing for growth with its high-end
solution.
It launched its Fleet 9 fleet management software last
year, which improves reporting and alerts for its routing, real-time
work management and telematics products.
Barata hopes to end
2012 with Telogis units in around 8,000 vehicles in Europe, primarily
vans, with around 30% of those in the UK.
However, growth could accelerate further if a global agreement signed in 2011 with Ford comes to the UK.
Ford
now fits Telogis systems as an optional extra to vehicles in the USA.
Barata hopes to bring the deal to Europe and doesn’t rule out similar
agreements with other manufacturers: “It’s the route to market in the
future.”
