The metro has introduced new fuel consumption regulatory measures to monitor and control fuelling activities as part of its fleet management strategy.<\/p>\n

The electronic fuel management system is being installed in the metro\u2019s vehicles and is set to ensure efficient utilisation of fuel resources.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

The fitment process is currently being rolled out to over 4 000 council-owned vehicles, set to be fitted with the device over a multi-year period, through inter-dependent phases.<\/p>\n

The process is expected to be completed by June 2017.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

The successful implementation of the system will anchor a new era of technological innovation in the management of fuel activities, thus placing the metro on par with industry practices.<\/p>\n

The R30-million project is a step in the right direction to instil a sense of accountability on the part of the metro, as well as to instil confidence in the ratepayers.<\/p>\n

The first phase of fitment is focusing on departments providing critical services, such as emergency, waste and buses, as well as the EMPD.<\/p>\n
