The Polish Logistics Society Award for 2024 was granted to Inglobi Radosław Gajewski, registered in Stryków (95-010), at 30 Sosnowiec Street, for the project entitled Implementation of a Fuel Consumption Reduction System in Road Transport - TIR Smart, authored by Radosław Gajewski and Adam Sadowski.
The aim of the project is to provide clients from the transport sector with a system that reduces fuel consumption, increases business profitability, and enhances the company’s image by limiting its negative environmental impact.
The system developed under the project is a comprehensive solution that combines appropriately configured technologies tailored to specific vehicle types and routes. The system is based on the following components:
- Regular thermal imaging inspections of the drivetrain, enabling detection of rolling resistance and mechanical defects that affect driving efficiency;
- Systematic analysis of data from telematics systems, which provide information on fuel consumption in relation to distance traveled, time, and driving speed. Advanced data are also used: idling and stop times, inertia, acceleration and braking dynamics;
- Evaluation of the effectiveness of technologies improving vehicle aerodynamics and fuel parameters, such as Optiflow, Supertech, or TPMS systems (e.g., ContiPressureCheck);
- Optimization of engine control units, especially for vehicles operating on fixed routes, allowing better alignment of the engine’s performance characteristics with operational conditions.
Thanks to the applied solutions, system users achieve real fuel savings as well as economic and environmental benefits.
Additional Recognitions
The jury also awarded a distinction to FM Polska Sp. z o.o., registered in Mszczonów (96-320), at 111a Tarczyńska Street, for the implementation of the project “Project 45.”
The concept of “Project 45”, implemented by FM Polska, was the optimization of driver service processes within the logistics platform. The project aimed to increase throughput and reduce operational costs by shortening the loading time to a maximum of 45 minutes – measured from the vehicle’s entry onto the platform to its departure.
As a result of the project’s implementation:
- the average loading time was reduced from approximately 2.5 hours to 45 minutes,
- logistics processes were streamlined,
- the platform gained the capacity to handle up to 100 vehicles per day.
The project is an example of effective operational time management and improved logistics performance, while simultaneously enhancing the quality of driver service.
Congratulations!
