6. Over Speed Cause More Fuel Cost
Set Speed alerts for drivers to maintain a safe and efficient speed of the vehicle. Cars, vans, pickup trucks, and SUVs are most fuel-efficient when they’re traveling between 60 – 80 kph. Above this speed, vehicles consume more fuel the faster they go.
For example, at 120 km per hour, a vehicle uses about 20% more fuel than at 100 km per hour. On a 25-km trip, this spike in speed – and fuel consumption – would cut just two minutes from your travel time.
