How to Control Fuel Costs When Fueling Abroad

We came up with an easy and clear guide on controlling international fuel costs, helping your fleet operate more efficiently across Europe. Here’s how our solutions can optimize your operations.

Key Strategies for Cost Control:

1. Route Planning for Savings: Use tools like DKV Maps to plan routes, and locate cost-effective fuel stations. This ensures drivers refuel at the cheapest stations while optimizing travel paths.
2. Optimize fuel-related expenses: Affinity-DKV fuel cards, accepted at over 70,000 stations across 50+ countries, simplify cashless payments for fuel, tolls, and services like vehicle washing.
3. Combat Fuel Fraud: DKV LIVE, a telematics system, tracks vehicles in real-time, monitors fuel transactions, and flags suspicious activities to prevent fraud, saving costs and enhancing security.
4. Tax Refunds for Liquidity: The tax refund services, including Net Invoice Pricing (NIP), streamline VAT recovery across countries.
5. Digital Tools for Efficiency: DKV Analytics provides detailed transaction reports, helping you check fuel price, monitor fuel consumption and optimize spending. The DKV Mobility App offers real-time station data and digital payment options, reducing administrative burdens.

Why It Matters? Rising fuel prices and complex tax regulations make cost management challenging. Our solutions—fuel cards, telematics, and tax services—help transport companies save up to 20% on fuel costs. By integrating these tools, you gain transparency, reduce fraud, and improve operational efficiency.
