How Fleet Telematics Supports SDG 7

Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG 7) aims to ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all. Fleet telematics helps companies use less fuel and lower emissions. It tracks vehicles, spots waste and finds better routes. Businesses save money and cut pollution. That’s how it supports SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy.

Fuel is expensive. Wasting it costs businesses a lot. Telematics stops waste. It shows where fuel is lost and helps fix it.

Tracking Fuel Use in Real-Time

• Monitors fuel usage for every vehicle.
• Shows how much fuel is used per trip.
• Highlights waste from long idling or bad driving.

Cutting Down on Idling

• Idling burns fuel and does nothing.
• Telematics alerts managers when a vehicle idles too long.
• Some fleets cut fuel costs by 10-15% just by fixing idling.

Better Driving Habits

• Harsh braking and fast acceleration waste fuel.
• Telematics spots bad driving so managers can correct it.
• Smoother driving means lower fuel use and fewer repairs.

Bad routes waste fuel. Traffic makes it worse. Telematics finds better paths.

Picking the Best Route

• GPS tracking suggests the quickest way.
• Avoids heavy traffic and roadblocks.
• Shorter routes mean less fuel burned.

Fewer Miles, Less Pollution

• The less a vehicle runs, the less CO₂ it produces.
• Route planning saves fuel and helps the environment.
• Businesses cut emissions without changing their fleet.

Logistics Company Saves 15% on Fuel

A transport company added telematics to its fleet. Reports showed drivers idled for 30 minutes per stop. Fixing this saved 15% on fuel in a year.

Delivery Fleet Cuts Route Time by 20%

A logistics firm used real-time GPS tracking. Smart routing reduced time on the road by 20%. That meant fewer miles, lower costs, and less pollution.

Switching to EVs Based on Telematics Data

A business checked telematics reports. It saw that most trips were under 50 miles. Switching short-distance vehicles to electric saved thousands per year in fuel costs.
