Operating a fleet of trucks, buses, or delivery vans in Kenya comes with escalating fuel prices and persistent route leakage. Unmonitored fuel consumption can quietly erode profit margins by hundreds of thousands of shillings every month.
The True Cost of Fuel Siphoning
In the transport and distribution industry, illicit fuel siphoning along transit routes (such as the Northern Corridor between Mombasa, Nairobi, and Malaba) is a widespread challenge. Drivers and third parties siphon 20 to 50 liters during overnight stops, reporting inflated pump receipts at refueling stations.
How Shevan Ultrasonic & Capacitive Sensors Work
Shevan Tracking installs high-precision digital fuel level sensors directly into your vehicle’s diesel or petrol tanks. These sensors continuously sample fuel volume and transmit telemetry data every few seconds:
- Live Fuel Volume Graphing: Monitor exact liters in each tank in real time.
- Sudden Drop Alerts: If the fuel level drops sharply while the engine is stationary, an instant “Fuel Theft Alert” is triggered with the exact GPS location.
- Refuel Verification: Verify the exact volume added against fueling station receipts.
- Liters-per-Kilometer Analytics: Correlate fuel burn with actual mileage to identify engine maintenance issues or aggressive driving.
Proven ROI in Less Than 90 Days
Logistics operators deploying Shevan fuel telemetry regularly report a 15% to 28% reduction in monthly fuel expenses within the first three months of implementation.
