EMM to install fuel monitoring devices
The successful implementation of the system will anchor a new era of technological innovation in the management fuel activities.
The City of Ekurhuleni has introduced new fuel consumption regulatory measures to monitor and control fuelling activities as part of its fleet management strategy.
The Ekurhuleni spokesperson, Mr Themba Gadebe, said the electronic fuel management system is being installed in the city’s vehicles and is set to ensure efficient utilisation of fuel resources.
“The fitment process is currently being rolled out to over 4 000 council-owned vehicles, set to be fitted with the device over a multi-year period through inter-dependent phases. The process is expected to be completed by June 2017,” said Mr Gadebe.
He said the successful implementation of the system will anchor a new era of technological innovation in the management fuel activities, thus placing the city on par with industry practices.
“The R30-million project is a step in the direction to instil a sense of accountability on the part of the City, as well as to instil confidence to the rate payers,” said Mr Gadebe.
The first phase of fitment focuses on departments providing critical services, such as emergency, waste, buses as well as the Metro Police Department.
