With fuel prices remaining high across Australia and New Zealand, reducing unnecessary fuel use has become a critical priority for civil construction companies. Telematicsโwhen used effectivelyโhas been shown to deliver measurable fuel savings, and Symtechโs M5 web portal makes this data practical and actionable.

The M5 web portal provides real-time visibility of fuel consumption, engine hours, idle time, and machine utilisation across excavators, graders, cranes, and trucks. This allows managers to quickly identify overโidling or underโutilised machines and address the issue before waste becomes embedded in daily operations.
โ
By using accurate runโtime and utilisation data from M5, fleets can also prioritise their most fuelโefficient machines for critical tasksโmaintaining productivity while keeping fuel expenditure tightly controlled.
