Fleet operators could cut fuel bills faster by focusing on driver behaviour rather than investing in dashboards and fuel-control systems that are not backed by operational discipline.

Rising fuel prices had added around R1.5 million to the budget of a company operating a fleet of about 20 vehicles, each covering 15 000 kilometres a month, Eugene Herbert, president of the AFP, said.
