Netradyne Expands Fuel Scoring and Coaching for Fleets
Netradyne has introduced Fuel Scoring and Coaching, a new solution designed to improve fleet fuel efficiency through recognition-based performance insights. By extending its AI-powered safety framework, the company now helps commercial fleets reduce fuel costs while reinforcing safer driving habits.
Fuel remains one of the largest operational expenses for fleet operators. Although many organizations track MPG, they often lack the context needed to drive meaningful change. As a result, managers see data but struggle to translate it into improved driver behavior. Netradyne addresses this gap by combining benchmarking, coaching, and recognition into a unified system.
Linking Fleet Fuel Efficiency with Safer Driving
Netradyne’s data shows a direct relationship between safety performance and fuel savings. For example, a recent fleet using the Driver·i® system recorded a 10-point increase in GreenZone® score, which correlated with approximately 5–6% better fleet fuel efficiency.
Safe driving behaviors such as smooth acceleration, steady speed, and proper following distance not only reduce risk but also improve MPG. Therefore, by reinforcing safe habits, fleets simultaneously strengthen safety performance and lower fuel consumption.
According to CEO and co-founder Avneesh Agrawal, recognition-based coaching plays a critical role. When drivers clearly understand their performance, compare it with peers, and receive rewards for improvement, behavior change becomes sustainable.
How Fuel Scoring and Coaching Drives Results
The new Fuel application ranks individual drivers and groups based on idling, MPG, drive time, and driving behavior data. Consequently, drivers gain visibility into how their habits impact overall fuel usage. In addition, performance-based recognition encourages continuous improvement rather than one-time corrections.
Fleet managers benefit from a centralized dashboard that highlights fuel performance by driver and vehicle. Automated detection of fuel-wasting behaviors includes video context, which adds clarity and fairness to evaluations. Moreover, insights such as vehicle type, terrain conditions, city versus highway driving, MPG trends, and idling time provide a comprehensive view of performance.
Because the platform integrates safety and fuel data, managers can offer targeted, personalized coaching. This approach not only reduces fuel waste but also strengthens driver trust and accountability.
Recognition-Based Coaching Improves Fleet Fuel Efficiency
Chief Product Officer Pramod Akkarachittor emphasized that positive reinforcement sustains long-term change. Instead of focusing solely on correction, the platform rewards efficient and safe driving behaviors. As a result, fleets experience compounding benefits across risk reduction and measurable cost savings.
By aligning safety metrics with fuel performance insights, Netradyne enables fleets to improve efficiency at scale. Ultimately, this recognition-driven strategy helps organizations lower operational costs while building a culture of performance and trust.
