Vehicle data for operational efficiency

Improve fuel and energy performance, reduce waste, and make better daily decisions with deeper vehicle data across mixed commercial fleets.

For telematics service providers, fleet platforms and operators that want to reduce avoidable cost and improve operational performance.

Why standard fuel data is not enough

Your fuel report may show that the fleet averaged 28 litres per 100 km last month. What it usually cannot explain is why truck 47 consumed 15% more than truck 48 on the same route.

It cannot show whether the difference comes from driver behaviour, inconsistent source data, fuel sensor drift or a developing technical issue. Standard FMS fuel data gives you a number, but not the operational context needed to act on it.

The challenge becomes even greater in mixed fleets. DAF, Mercedes, Volvo and Scania do not always calculate or expose fuel-related data in the same way. That makes direct comparison unreliable and limits the value of reporting.

Fuel efficiency insights across mixed commercial fleets

Squarell goes beyond standard FMS by accessing deeper OEM-specific signals related to fuel consumption, idle behaviour, throttle input, cruise control usage and aftertreatment status. These signals are then harmonised into a consistent data model across brands.

This allows your platform to compare vehicles more fairly, analyse consumption with more confidence and benchmark performance across mixed commercial fleets without relying on inconsistent OEM calculations.

Instead of adding another dashboard, Squarell delivers the data into your own platform, analytics environment or customer reporting flow, so you stay in control of the user experience.

Improve driver performance with deeper OEM vehicle data

When fuel and behaviour data becomes more accurate, it becomes more useful. You can identify which drivers are creating unnecessary fuel cost, which vehicles are underperforming and which patterns may point to a mechanical inefficiency.

Fuel anomalies often signal maintenance issues. See Uptime for predictive maintenance data.

This supports more targeted coaching, stronger customer reporting and earlier intervention when
efficiency drops. It also helps platforms move beyond static reporting and provide recommendations
based on real vehicle behaviour rather than assumptions.

For telematics providers and fleet platforms, this turns raw vehicle signals into practical operational intelligence.

What deeper vehicle data enables

  • Accurate fuel consumption analysis across mixed OEM fleets

  • Reliable benchmarking between vehicles, routes
    and driver groups

  • Idle time measurement and reduction targets

  • Driver scoring based on actual vehicle signals instead of
    GPS-only data

  • AdBlue and aftertreatment monitoring for efficiency and emissions control

  • Cruise control and throttle usage analysis for driver coaching

  • More credible total cost of ownership benchmarking

  • Accurate fuel data is also essential for CSRD Scope 3 compliance. See Compliance.

Why Squarell for operational efficiency

  • Goes beyond standard FMS with OEM-specific vehicle signals

  • Normalises data across brands so comparisons are actually meaningful

  • Works inside your platform instead of competing with it

  • Supports mixed fleets without forcing a brand-specific setup

  • Helps transform raw vehicle data into measurable operational value

Frequently asked questions

Standard FMS data often provides a limited view of fuel performance and does not explain why differences occur between vehicles. Squarell adds deeper OEM-specific signals and harmonises them across brands, making the data more accurate and actionable.

Yes. Squarell is built to normalise vehicle data across different OEMs, allowing fuel efficiency comparisons across mixed fleets in a consistent and reliable way.

Yes. Signals such as idle time, throttle behaviour and cruise control usage help identify coaching opportunities that reduce fuel waste and improve driver performance.

No. Squarell delivers vehicle data into your platform, analytics layer or reporting environment, so you can build insights within your own product experience.

Reliable fuel and efficiency data can strengthen emissions-related reporting and support broader compliance and sustainability objectives by using better operational source data.
