Gestão energética: estudos e alternativas para o uso eficiente e sustentável do combustível no transporte rodoviário

Abstract

The Brazilian road transportation segment has achieved considerable growth in recent years, due to the country's continental size and the predominance of this mode of transport. The increase in fuel prices, especially diesel and biodiesel, has significantly impacted the operations of transport companies, which are facing increasing challenges such as the demand for quality, price and sustainability. It is known that fuel represents a large portion of operating costs and efficient fuel management has become crucial, directly influencing operating costs, profitability and customer satisfaction. Fuel management and telemetry tools have proven essential for optimizing processes, reducing costs and carbon emissions, and increasing operational efficiency and safety. In addition, the formation of teams specialized in fuel economy is essential for agile adaptation to market changes and for the financial success of companies. These practices not only ensure the sustainability of operations, but also promote innovation, risk management and strategic decisions based on accurate data.
