Dynamon reveals significant fuel savings using fleet optimisation solutions

Using Dynamon’s service, Wincanton has improved their purchasing decision making, reducing both fuel cost and emissions.

The challenge

Wincanton operates in an extremely competitive marketplace which demands low prices and actions to reduce environmental impact. Dave Rowlands, Wincanton’s Technical Services Director, explains that achieving these outcomes requires a more innovative approach to procurement:

Recognising the capabilities of Dynamon’s data analytics, Wincanton tasked Dynamon to identify where cost savings and improved environmental impact can be achieved during procurement of tyres and aftermarket aerodynamic solutions.

The solution

Two key components of Dynamon’s data analysis service are:

• Helping fleets purchase tyre policies that balance both tyre cost and fuel performance.
• Identifying aerodynamics solutions that provide the best return on investment.

After integrating with Wincanton’s existing telematics platform, Dynamon analysed twelve months of historic vehicle data. From this, Dynamon’s algorithms then generated a further 700 million analysis data points per vehicle to produce a set of ‘what-if’ scenarios to identify exactly how much fuel could be saved from improved aerodynamics and tyre performance.

The Outcome

The output of Dynamon’s analysis identified a potential 7% fuel saving from improved tyre choice and 3% fuel saving from improved aerodynamic roof spoiler choice. Dave Rowlands:

With these fuel savings identified, Wincanton can now assess proposals from suppliers of tyres and aerodynamics products to ensure they achieve maximum return on investment, while minimizing their environmental impact.
