Verizon Connect Adds Fuel Purchase Data in Europe

Fleet managers in three European countries will be able to feed fuel purchasing data into their Verizon Connect Reveal telematics platform under a new partnership between the telematics provider and UTA, a European fuel card provider.

By integrating the fueling data, Verizon Connect is enabling fleet managers to compare fuel transactions with GPS data to track fuel purchased, fuel efficiency, lost fuel, and a fleet's carbon footprint.

"Fuel is often the largest line item for a fleet-based company, and having insights into how fuel is being purchased and used becomes a mission-critical component of managing the bottom line," said Derek Bryan, EMEA vice president for Verizon Connect. "The UTA integration with the Reveal platform enables customers to better manage their fuel usage and costs by helping them identify inefficiencies and patterns of misuse."

The new feature is available in France, Germany, and Poland.

"By giving customers more visibility into costs that directly impact their bottom line, they are able to better manage fuel spend and improve fleet operations," said Stefan Horst, UTA's head of marketing.
