Council vehicles fitted with fuel management devices
The Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality (EMM) has introduced new fuel consumption regulatory measures to monitor and control fueling activities as part of its fleet management strategy.
Metro spokesperson 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 four thousand council-owned vehicles set to be fitted with the device for over a multi-year period through inter-dependent phases,” said Gadebe.
The process is expected to be completed by June 2017.
“The successful implementation of the system will anchor a new era of technological innovation in the management of fuel activities, thus placing the city on par with industry practices,” said the spokesperson.
Gadebe said the R30-million project is a step in the direction to instil a sense of accountability on the part of the EMM as well as to instil confidence in the ratepayers.
The first phase of fitment is focusing on departments providing critical services, such as emergency, waste, buses as well as the metro police department.
