The INFINITI Fuel Efficiency Program helps companies save real money

“When I first got the system, the first thing we focused on was the fuel module. We have 100 trucks at four miles to the gallon, and we are burning through fuel like crazy. I started printing the report that we can get out of Qualcomm that shows your MPG. We started rolling out the fuel module. It’s just these little things. Four percent fuel cost reduction. That doesn’t sound huge until you realize we spend $150,000 a week on fuel. All of a sudden we’re saving $8,000 a week in fuel. The system paid for itself, I don’t even know how many times, over the last 12 months, just in that.”

“We started with Infinit-I in 2008, and our fuel economy was at 6.1 MPG. In 2009 we improved to 6.5 MPG. We started 2010 at 6.9 MPG. This happened by training, counseling and continually working with our drivers. The efficiency of operation saves them and our company money. Everyone profits as a result of those efforts, and the job gets easier.”

“Our fuel economy has been increased 7% [with INFINITI].”

Beyond the Pump 

INFINITI Fleet Safety believes that safety should pay.  That is why we have developed a fuel efficiency training program that focuses on safety and has proven to save at the fuel pump.  Our videos are short and offer practical guidance that drivers can implement long term.  These training modules are available on both Android and iPhone mobile devices that are supported by the cloud, making them available anytime anywhere.  The fuel efficiency curriculum includes: 

1. Tire Pressure Awareness

Improperly inflated tires increase rolling resistance and force the engine to work harder to maintain motion. That added strain raises fuel consumption and accelerates tire wear. Drivers learn inspection routines, pressure standards, and how tire conditions influence operating cost. Reinforcing this habit supports stronger performance and reduces avoidable mechanical stress.

2. Idling and Route Management

Idle time remains one of the largest sources of avoidable fuel waste across the industry. Modules teach drivers how to recognize idle patterns, reduce unnecessary engine run time, and plan routes with greater efficiency. Anticipating congestion, minimizing detours, and eliminating wasted miles strengthens both budget control and schedule stability.

3. Cargo Distribution and Weight Balance

Uneven load placement creates imbalance that increases strain on the drivetrain and lowers miles per gallon. Drivers are trained to understand weight distribution principles, loading best practices, and how to communicate issues effectively with warehouse personnel. Balanced cargo supports smoother operation and improved consistency.

4. Speed Control and Smooth Driving

Excessive speed and aggressive throttle input significantly increase consumption. Drivers learn momentum management, controlled acceleration, and steady-speed operation. These habits not only improve performance metrics but also reduce risk exposure on the road.

5. Rig Maintenance and Pre-Trip Awareness

Preventive maintenance directly influences operating efficiency. Modules address air filters, lubrication, aerodynamic awareness, and early signs of mechanical inefficiency. Drivers are trained to recognize conditions that may reduce performance and report them promptly.

6. Fuel Optimization

Companies can reduce fuel costs by buying fuel in bulk and negotiating discounts with truck stop chains.  Carriers can also purchase discount cards for drivers to use at designated locations.  Drivers must also pre-plan routes to minimize out of route miles when refueling at participating stores.   

Each topic reinforces disciplined operations. When applied consistently, these behaviors improve miles per gallon, stabilize operating cost, and strengthen overall fleet performance.

FAQs

Fuel Efficiency refers to how effectively a truck uses fuel to move freight. Improving Fuel Efficiency means reducing wasted fuel, increasing miles per gallon, lowering operating costs, and helping drivers adopt habits that stretch every gallon. Small changes across a fleet can result in major long term savings.

Fuel Efficiency directly impacts profitability because fuel is one of the highest operating expenses for any fleet. Even a slight improvement in miles per gallon can save thousands of dollars per truck annually. Strong Fuel Efficiency also reduces emissions, supports sustainability goals, and makes fleets more competitive.

Driver behavior is the most important factor in Fuel Efficiency. Smooth acceleration, proper speed control, avoiding unnecessary idling, checking tire pressure, and balancing cargo all help reduce fuel waste. When drivers receive targeted Fuel Efficiency training, fleets see measurable improvements quickly.

Training gives drivers the knowledge and habits needed to reduce fuel burn. Short, focused Fuel Efficiency modules help drivers learn how to operate smoothly, reduce idle time, manage speed, and select better routes. Consistent training keeps these habits fresh and helps fleets maintain long term savings.

Fuel Efficiency training often covers tire pressure, idling management, route planning, cargo distribution, speed control, preventive maintenance, and smooth vehicle operation. These lessons equip drivers with practical techniques they can use immediately to reduce fuel waste and improve safety.

Yes. Even minor adjustments can make a major difference in Fuel Efficiency. For example, reducing idle time, maintaining steady speed, accelerating gradually, and checking tire pressure can boost miles per gallon across an entire fleet, adding up to tens of thousands of dollars in annual savings.

Idling wastes fuel at an alarming rate. A truck can burn up to one gallon of fuel every hour while idling. Reducing idle time is one of the fastest ways to improve Fuel Efficiency. Training helps drivers understand when idling is unnecessary and how to avoid it.

Improper tire pressure increases rolling resistance, which forces the engine to work harder. This directly lowers Fuel Efficiency and increases tire wear. Training teaches drivers how to check tire pressure regularly so they can maintain safe performance and better fuel mileage.

Uneven cargo distribution creates drag, requires more engine power, and reduces Efficiency. Proper loading helps trucks move more smoothly and reduces strain on the engine. Efficiency training helps drivers understand weight balance and communicate with loading staff when adjustments are needed.

Driving at consistent speeds and avoiding aggressive acceleration helps boost Fuel Efficiency. Every unnecessary increase in speed burns extra fuel. Fuel Efficiency training teaches drivers how to maintain momentum, plan ahead, and keep speed steady even in busy traffic environments.

Well maintained equipment performs more efficiently. Clean filters, proper lubrication, correct alignment, and well functioning engine systems all contribute to stronger Efficiency. Maintenance awareness modules help drivers spot issues early so fleets can prevent costly fuel waste.

Yes. The same habits that improve Fuel Efficiency also make drivers safer. Smooth braking, lower speeds, better spacing, and reduced stress on equipment all reduce the risk of accidents. Fuel Efficient drivers usually have fewer preventable incidents and a higher awareness of their surroundings.

Many fleets see measurable improvements within weeks. Because Efficiency training focuses on small, daily behaviors, drivers can apply changes immediately. Improvements in miles per gallon often appear in the first month, with long term habits producing even greater savings.
