The Fuel & Energy report displays information about the fuel efficiency and usage of drivers or vehicles in the fleet.
To refine the scope of the results, use the date selector or filter by tags. Reports are displayed based on your fleet vehicle composition:
-
All vehicles: For fleets with more than one vehicle type, such as electric, plug-in hybrid or fuel vehicles, you can use this column to compare the relative vehicle efficiencies.
-
Electric (EV): Battery-powered Electric Vehicle.
This includes vehicles that are fully electric and rechargeable.
-
Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV): Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle.
This includes vehicles with a rechargeable battery.
-
Fuel: Internal Combustion Engine vehicle.
This is your standard gasoline, diesel, or non-chargeable hybrid vehicle.
The report includes the following information for each vehicle or driver, depending on the types of vehicles in your fleet:
|
Field |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Vehicle or Driver |
Name of the vehicle or driver. |
|
Efficiency |
A driver’s or vehicle's miles per gallon (or electric equivalent) usage over a specific time frame. |
|
Fuel Used |
For fuel or hybrid vehicles, fuel used over a specific time frame. |
|
Energy Used |
Energy used over a specific time frame for plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles. Regenerated energy is subtracted to provide actual energy usage (and consequently, energy efficiency). |
|
Distance |
Distance traveled, using Samsara standardized distance measure. When fuel consumption data reported by the engine control unit (ECU) is not available or is unreliable, Samsara filters these missing or under-reported data points to improve fuel efficiency accuracy. This can lead to a slightly lower distance reported compared to other reports. |
|
% Driving Electric |
(Plug-In Hybrid Vehicles) The amount of time vehicle used electric power as compared to total drive time. |
|
Est. Carbon Emissions |
Estimated carbon emissions based on the EPA GHG Emissions Factor Hub. For more information, see Emissions Factor. |
|
Est. Cost |
Estimated fuel cost is calculated using a national average of the cost of fuel from a number of different sources depending on where you are located. In the U.S., Samsara uses data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. This number is updated weekly or you can create a custom Fuel Cost. |
|
Total Engine Run Time |
The amount of time for which the engine is on. |
|
Idle Time (%) |
Amount of time that the engine is on but the vehicle is not moving and PTO is not engaged. When a vehicle switches to idle and the idle time exceeds two minutes, idle time is reported. Idle time less than two minutes is not reported. Idling time allocation: If the time between drivers is over 6 hours, the unassigned time period is split equally between the previous driver and the next driver. Idling time is assigned based on which time period it lands in. Otherwise, all idle time will be allocated to the previous driver. Driver assignments are based on trip driver assignments. Any change in driver assignment that occurs outside a trip will be ignored until the next trip start time. |
|
PTO Time |
The amount of time that the engine is on and power take-off (PTO) auxiliary input is engaged. NoteIf you do not use any auxiliary inputs, the report hides this column. |
