EKA EconFuel AI™
Fuel Is Your Second-Largest Operating Expense. EKA EconFuel AI™ tells drivers exactly when, where, and how many gallons to buy on their specific route, and typically cuts 3 to 8% off fuel spend within a few months.
The Problem
Fuel sits right behind labor as your largest operating cost, and the gap is shrinking. For an 18-wheeler running 6 miles per gallon, a 10-cent difference per gallon across 100,000 annual miles is $1,667. Multiply that across 50 trucks and you’re looking at $83,350 in savings or losses.
You can’t fix this by telling drivers to find cheaper fuel. A truck pulling I-80 through Utah might save $200 by fueling 20 miles down the road, but only if the detour doesn’t blow the HOS clock or add dwell time. That math isn’t something a driver can run at 70 miles an hour.
EKA Solution
A truck pulling I-80 through Utah might save $200 by fueling 20 miles down the road, but only if the detour doesn’t blow the HOS clock or add dwell time. EKA EconFuel AI™ runs the complex spatial-logistics math at 70 mph, delivering exact, executable fuel recommendations straight into the workflow.
How EKA EconFuel AI™ Works
1. Optimal Stop Selection
Truck routes are analyzed automatically to pick the most cost-effective fueling stations, based on real-time pricing and your negotiated discounts.
2. Granular Planning Variables
The plan factors in current tank levels, vehicle consumption rates, state fuel tax implications, state-by-state fuel compliance rules, and driver amenities.
3. Direct Driver Workflow
Precise, stop-by-stop instructions go straight to the in-cab mobile communication units: which location, and exactly how many gallons.
4. Driver Fuel Compliance
Real-time alerts fire when a driver doesn't follow the optimized plan. Monthly out-of-plan reporting goes to fleet operations management, driver managers, and drivers.
5. Anti-Theft Comparison
EKA connects vehicle fuel management system data with fuel card transactions to catch purchase irregularities and prevent theft.
Why We Built It This Way
Routes Don't Change
Dispatchers have stable routes, and they’re not rebuilding them around a fuel tool. EKA overlays optimization on your existing lanes.
Drivers Need Answers, Not Data
Simple, specific recommendations are key. Location and gallons. That’s it. No complicated dashboards for drivers to read.
Days, Not Months
Implementation takes a few days, integrating seamlessly into your existing EKA Omni-TMS™ workspace natively.
Scale Is The Point
Fuel buying happens constantly, and tiny correct decisions compound into massive enterprise-level savings over time.
Route AI natively connected
EKA EconFuel AI™ runs natively inside EKA Omni-TMS™ for trucking companies. EKA Route AI™ automates route generation at the exact moment of dispatch, and EKA EconFuel AI™ automates the optimized fuel plan at that same moment for the company driver. It is capable of handling customized routes for lanes set by the fleet.
Pricing
Pricing depends on fleet size, typically through a SaaS model. Highly competitive against both legacy and SaaS fuel optimization services.
Who This Is For
Best For: Stable or irregular routes, looking for automated asset matches without custom developer setup or heavy platform overhaul costs.
