Fuel is a line item. Uptime is revenue.
Commercial and municipal operators buy on measured outcomes. DFGD designs fleet pilots that measure fuel demand, efficiency and equipment endurance against the operator’s own baseline, then builds the pilot-to-purchase pathway on that evidence.
Where fuel demand meets the bottom line.
Municipal fleets & street sweepers
City fleets with fixed routes and long duty cycles, where measured fuel savings read straight back as budget recovered.
Commercial vehicles
Route and service fleets where fuel is a top operating line and uptime is revenue.
Generators
Commercial and industrial generator sets: long runtimes, measurable burn rates and clear baselines.
Heavy equipment
Construction and industrial equipment where fuel demand scales with every hour on the clock.
Refrigerated transportation
Reefer fleets burn fuel around the clock to hold temperature, so endurance is measured in load integrity.
Oil & gas / industrial
Oilfield and industrial generator applications, where remote operation makes every gallon delivered expensive.
Same engines. Data that carries over.
Commercial fleets and military vehicles run on many of the same combustion engines. A result measured on one fleet is evidence about the other.
One engine, two fleets
Many of the heavy-duty diesel engines and generator sets working in commercial fleets come from the same engine families found in military vehicles and field generators.
Commercial data is engine data
A commercial pilot measures fuel burn on a working engine, in its normal duty cycle, against its own baseline. Where the military runs the same engine, that measurement speaks to its fleet too.
Less new testing to fund
Starting from commercial results on a shared engine can narrow what a military evaluation still has to prove, and the research and development money it takes to prove it.
A pilot protocol the purchase decision can stand on.
Every commercial pilot runs the same six steps, so the results are the operator’s own numbers.
- 01
Select
Choose the units and routes that represent the fleet.
- 02
Baseline
Measure current fuel use and duty cycle before anything changes.
- 03
Install
Retrofit the participating units. The rest of the fleet stays as it is.
- 04
Operate & monitor
Run normal operations while data accumulates.
- 05
Measure
Compare against the baseline on the fleet’s own numbers.
- 06
Review
Walk the results with the operator and frame the purchase decision.
A fleet pilot that became a purchase commitment.
The First Maintenance street-sweeper pilot has run for over a year and earned its purchase commitment on the operator’s own data.
- In service
- First Maintenance street-sweeper pilot, still running in normal daily operations
- 25%
- Approximate average fuel savings reported by the customer on participating applications
- 50 units
- Conditional purchase commitment on the strength of the pilot data
Customer-reported results are qualified to the evaluated applications and operating conditions.
