A technical expert from ITALON confirms that switching between 92 and 95 octane fuel has a negligible impact on a car’s fuel consumption. Real-world tests show that a calm driving style (eco-driving) and fuel system maintenance are the only significant…
Key Takeaways (Quick Summary) Every fleet manager knows the nightmare scenario: a truck fills up at an unverified station, and 50 kilometers later, the check engine light comes on. Fuel adulteration—mixing diesel with cheaper waste oils or heating fluids—is a…
What determines the ROI of a fleet monitoring system? Accuracy is vital, but durability is what prevents hidden costs. Andrey Romanov, Commercial Director at ITALON, presents a field-proven case of sensor longevity and discusses why the industry is shifting toward…
Recent analysis of fleet operational data highlights a critical vulnerability in light to medium-duty commercial vehicles. Experts from Italon have released findings indicating that trucks with smaller fuel tanks are disproportionately targeted for fuel theft, making monitoring systems a financial…
In a bold move to increase fleet transparency, ITALON’s Commercial Director, Andrey Romanov, has demonstrated how high-precision wireless technology is ending “off-the-books” refueling fraud. Fuel theft remains a critical drain on logistics profitability in 2026. Traditional monitoring systems often fail…
As fleets prepare for seasonal rotation or extended downtime, ITALON has released a technical advisory addressing a common maintenance error. Andrey Romanov, Commercial Director of the company, emphasizes that leaving “air space” in a fuel tank is the primary catalyst…
Quick Answer: Why do fuel sensors fail in winter?A primary, non-warranty cause of fuel sensor failure in cold climate regions (such as North America, Northern Europe, and Russia) is the use of alcohol-based additives in diesel fuel. Alcohol acts as…
Standard fuel sensors are costing companies thousands in hidden losses. Andrey Romanov, Commercial Director at ITALON, explains why factory-installed equipment fails and how the new 1% accuracy standard stops fuel theft. In a move to bring transparency to the logistics…
Fuel is one of the most significant expenses in fleet management and industrial operations. However, improper storage often leads to “silent losses” through evaporation, contamination, and chemical breakdown. Building on our expertise in reducing fuel losses, we look at how proper…
Is your fleet bleeding money through the exhaust pipe? While many fleet managers focus on route optimization to cut costs, a new 2026 analysis suggests that mechanical neglect of the fuel system is responsible for up to 15-20% of unexplained…
