Fuel is one of your largest and most volatile operating costs. Yet most organisations still rely on disconnected reports and raw idling data to make high-stakes decisions about fuel spend, coaching, and maintenance. That can mean hours spent combing through noisy reports and missed opportunities to cut waste before it shows up on your fuel bill.

That’s why we launched two major enhancements designed to change that: the Fuel Hub and Idling and Fuel Coaching. Together, they turn fragmented fuel and idling data into clear insights your team can use every day.

Fuel Intelligence Hub: turn data into decisions

The new Fuel Hub acts as a single, intelligence-driven home for fleet fuel performance, so you no longer have to jump between pages or spreadsheets to understand what’s driving costs.

From one view, you can:

  • See total fuel spend, total volume, and inefficiency cost at a glance, translated into real Pounds (£) you can act on.
  • Understand how your fleet consumes fuel by energy type—diesel, petrol, EV charging, and more—to spot mix shifts or anomalies faster.
  • Instantly surface top idling offenders, fuel waste, and underperforming drivers and vehicles, benchmarked fairly using vehicle make, model, and year context.

Every widget links directly to a detail page with more information, turning insights into workflows instead of screenshots and side spreadsheets. The result: less time digging, more time optimising how and where your fleet spends on fuel.

Idling Coaching that cuts waste, not corners

Idling is one of the biggest drivers of avoidable fuel spend, but traditional idling reports don’t distinguish between necessary and wasteful idling—so a quick stop at a red light can look the same as running the engine for 30 minutes at a service station.

Our new Idling Coaching fixes this by layering ambient temperature, location, and PTO (Power Take-Off) status onto every idling event, then filtering down to only the events that truly merit coaching.

With Idling Coaching, fleets can:

  • Reduce fuel waste through targeted coaching on the right idling behaviours, not just the longest events.
  • Save 1.5–3 hours per week per manager by eliminating manual review of thousands of low-value idling events—only coachable events surface in their queue.
  • Coach fairly with evidence-based context, so drivers aren’t penalised for idling in extreme weather or while operating equipment.
  • Configure duration, temperature, and geofence thresholds to match their operations, defining exactly what “unproductive idling” means for their fleet.

Coachable idling events flow straight into Motive’s Coaching Platform under a new Fuel behaviour category, right alongside safety behaviours, with full history and performance tracking. That closes the loop from detection to coaching, to measurable improvement in MPG and fuel spend—all inside the Motive platform.
When you choose the Motive platform, you can save fuel while running a safer, more efficient fleet that strengthens your bottom line. Get in touch to start improving your own fleet’s efficiency.
