Kraftstoffdiebstahl und Kartenmissbrauch

Definition

Australian fleet telematics providers explicitly highlight that, without integrated fuel validation, fuel card misuse and fuel theft often go undetected because odometer readings, tank capacity and location are not cross‑checked against refuelling transactions.[2][3] Systems such as Cartrack MiFleet and IntelliTrac compare every fuel transaction with GPS location, odometer and vehicle tank capacity and report exceptions when volumes exceed capacity or when fuel is bought for the wrong vehicle or at a location where the bus was not present.[2][3] Vendors position this as a way to mitigate ongoing challenges of refuelling non‑fleet vehicles and inflating litres pumped.[2] In practice, international fleet benchmarks commonly estimate 2–10 % of fuel spend can be lost to theft or misuse in poorly controlled environments; using a conservative 3–8 % for Australian bus fleets is a logic‑based extrapolation.

Why This Matters

The Pitch: Interurban and rural bus operators in Australia 🇦🇺 waste schätzungsweise 3–8 % ihres jährlichen Kraftstoffbudgets durch nicht entdeckten Kraftstoffdiebstahl und Kartenmissbrauch. Automation of card–GPS cross‑checks and exception reporting for unusual fill volumes, locations and fuel types largely eliminates this risk.
