Developing a robust transport energy management program can be complex, especially with transport and fuel combined into an “all-in” rate. By separating fuel from transport costs, shippers can achieve greater transparency in their reimbursement to transport partners. European Fuel Recovery has become an increasingly favored strategy to improve transparency, reduce risk, and achieve cost savings.
This guide outlines actionable steps to ensure a smooth and successful Fuel Recovery implementation within your organization.
Start by assessing the scope of your operations.
Having a strong understanding of your network structure is essential for a smooth implementation process and clear visibility into the potential opportunity. By having insight into how your network operates, you create a solid foundation for a program that drives measurable impact and aligns with your specific operational needs.
Partnering with a trusted transportation leader enables a strategic approach to implementing your new fuel program. They can help align stakeholders through effective change management discussions, streamlining the process and accelerating your transition. Leverage this expertise to guide decision-making and address any hurdles along the way.
Clearly communicate that separating fuel from freight is a non-negotiable requirement for the bid. By establishing this expectation upfront, you increase acceptance among transport partners and signal firm commitment to improving network transparency and efficiency. Transport partners are eager to compete for your business, remember, you determine the requirements for your network.
Pushback from transport partners is common and often stems from uncertainty.
