Save Fleet Costs in 2025!

Is Your Business Ready for the New Financial Year? Here’s some Argus tips for Strategies to Reduce Fleet Costs in 2025.

In the build up to a new financial year, February is often crucial time for business planning across Aotearoa. At Argus Tracking, we're dedicated to helping your business reduce costs, save time, and improve fleet efficiency. Whether you’re managing a few vehicles or an extensive fleet, strategic changes can make a significant impact.

Here are three strategies to enhance your fleet management and lower costs in 2025:

  1. Automate RUC (Road User Charges) purchasing with the Argus Tracking Smart eRUC product

  2. Reduce Fuel Consumption with Diver Behaviour Monitoring

  3. Leverage Telematics Data for Better Vehicle Utilization

Let’s take a closer look at how these solutions work and the value they bring to your business.

1. Automate RUC (Road User Charges) purchasing with Smart eRUC

What is Smart eRUC (Electronic Road User Charges)?

Smart eRUC is a digital solution that replaces traditional paper-based RUC licenses with an electronic display device for fleet vehicles. This technology, designed to attach to the inside of your windscreen, simplifies the process of managing road user charges.

Example of Smart eRUC device

How does eRUC Benefit Your Business?

eRUC automates the RUC purchase process, reducing administrative workloads for fleet managers and eliminating the risk of costly compliance errors caused by manual handling. Additionally, it supports sustainability efforts by reducing paper usage and aligning with environmentally responsible practices.

Key Benefits:

  • Streamlines RUC purchase and renewals.

  • Minimizes the risk of non-compliance.

  • Enhances operational sustainability.

  • Empowers your team to undertake more value-add work

2. Reduce Fuel Consumption with Driver Behaviour Monitoring

Fuel costs remain a significant challenge for businesses across all industries. Factors such as harsh braking, rapid acceleration, and excessive speeding not only increase fuel consumption but also escalate vehicle wear and tear.

How Can Telematics Help You?

Telematic systems provide detailed insights into driver behaviour, empowering fleet managers to identify areas for improvement. Encouraging better driving habits can lead to significant savings and improved fleet safety. Recognizing and rewarding drivers with exemplary habits fosters a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.

Potential Savings

Did you know? Improved driver behaviour can lower fuel consumption by considerable amounts:

  • 15–30% at motorway speeds

  • 10–40% in stop-and-go traffic

3. Leverage Telematics Data for Better Vehicle Productivity

Are All Your Fleet Vehicles Being Used Efficiently?

Underutilized vehicles not only fail to generate value but also incur unnecessary costs such as maintenance, RUC purchases, and fuel expenses. Without clear data, identifying these inefficiencies can be challenging for you.

How can GPS Tracking Help?

GPS tracking and fleet telematics reveal detailed vehicle productivity metrics, enabling businesses to make informed decisions about right sizing the fleets. By eliminating underutilized assets, you can reduce expenses, improve resource allocation, and enhance overall fleet productivity.

Key Benefits:

  • Identify and retire unused or underutilized vehicles (save thousands!).

  • Reduce maintenance, fuel, and RUC costs.

  • Optimize fleet size for maximum efficiency.
