Registered fuel thefts detected by the SmartTracker software from VEM Technology exceeded 26,000 liters from early 2016 to the end of 2017.

What amount of fuel was detected by the SmartTracker software?

Specifically, in 2016, 18,047 liters were siphoned from company vehicles, with a total of 652 siphoning incidents registered. By comparison, in 2017, fuel losses were nearly half, totaling 8,083 liters with 326 registered siphoning incidents.

It is notable that the number of registered fuel siphonings decreased with the installation of GPS devices with an integrated fuel control module, as evidenced by the data for both consecutive years.

What are the most common methods of fuel theft?

According to VEM Technology’s GPS system, company vehicle fuel thefts are carried out mainly via:

  • Direct siphoning from the fuel tank;

  • Fuel being paid for at a gas station but filled into a personal vehicle’s tank instead of a company vehicle’s tank.
    Although gas station staff monitor for such thefts, abuses happen. Fortunately, VEM Technology’s fuel control mechanism allows detection of discrepancies between fuel paid for and fuel actually deposited in the vehicle tank.

How does VEM Technology help partners optimize their expenses?

SmartTracker by VEM Technology employs various fuel control methods depending on whether the vehicle is a truck, construction machine, agricultural machine, car or light commercial vehicle.

You can upgrade to an “Fuel Control Pro” module, where a specially trained VEM Technology team monitors fuel spending, tracks and reports fuel thefts, and notifies the customer.
