City of Shawinigan orders an automated fleet fueling solution

MONTREAL — Home to a population of 51,000 along Quebec’s Saint-Maurice river, the City of Shawinigan has placed an order with Coencorp for a fully automated fleet fueling system. Shawinigan’s existing fuel management system is severely outdated according to Coencorp, prompting the city’s decision to change it.

The city had previously updated their fleet maintenance software; however, Coencorp says the city soon realized that it was ineffective owing to inaccurate information input at the front end. Coencorp’s fully automated fueling technology, with its proprietary Vehicle Data Units, will try and address this issue by delivering odometer readings, engine hours, and engine fault codes every time a vehicle comes to the yard for fueling.

“Our SM2-FUEL management solution unburdens busy fleet managers from the tedious chore of cleansing vehicle data by automatically feeding accurate information into maintenance management systems, and it does so without busting our clients’ budgets with recurring per-vehicle fees. Further, the fuel consumption data that’s simultaneously captured with this solution is invaluable for the reconciliation of fuel inventories,” states Coencorp CEO Ali Tavassoli.

The new automated fleet fuel management system will be operational in the coming months.

Mr. Tavassoli adds, “The City of Shawinigan is yet another in a long list of municipalities that now use Coencorp’s SM2 fleet management solutions for fuel and maintenance management, telematics, and security. We welcome Shawinigan into the Coencorp family.”
