Fuel theft, inaccurate logs, and inefficient tracking have quietly become one of the biggest drains on fleet profitability worldwide. Industry reports show fuel expenses make up 30–40% of total operating costs for most transport businesses. Even small leaks whether physical or hidden in faulty data can translate into massive annual losses.

The reality is harsh: manual checks are slow, prone to error, and offer little defense against theft or misuse. Traditional wired monitoring systems add complexity, downtime, and maintenance costs.

To address this, Uffizio has partnered with Melta, a pioneer in Bluetooth-based fuel sensing technology, to create a seamlessly integrated, real-time fuel monitoring solution. Combining Melta’s high-precision, wireless hardware with Uffizio’s advanced fleet management platform, this partnership gives fleets drop-by-drop visibility, instant tamper alerts, and actionable data without the wiring hassles, delays, or guesswork. It’s a smarter way to safeguard fuel, cut costs, and keep fleets running at peak efficiency.

Why Uffizio chose Melta

Melta’s Bluetooth fuel sensors are designed for flexibility, accuracy, and tamper resistance. With built-in Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) communication, these sensors eliminate the need for wired connections making them ideal for fleets that operate in rugged or remote environments.

Here’s why the Uffizio + Melta combination works so well for modern fleets:

  • Fast, wireless installation with no wiring required
  • Battery life up to 5 years, ensuring minimal maintenance
  • Real-time fuel level updates, even when vehicles are offline
  • Tamper alerts, so theft or manual interference is instantly flagged
  • Seamless data sync with Uffizio’s software via GPS tracker or BLE gateway

Together, the two systems provide full-fuel visibility minute by minute, drop by drop.

How bluetooth fuel sensors work in vehicles

Melta’s bluetooth fuel sensors are installed inside or outside the tank, depending on vehicle type and use case. The most common method is in-tank vertical installation, where the sensor uses capacitive or ultrasonic technology to read fuel levels accurately.

For more complex setups, like two-pipe tanks or irregular-shaped containers, Melta provides customized mounting options, including:

  • External ultrasonic sensors (no tank penetration)
  • Float-based sensors for older fleets
  • Bracket kits for tippers, tankers, and trailers

Once installed, the sensor transmits data wirelessly to the GPS tracker or BLE receiver, which then sends it to the Uffizio platform for analysis and alerts.

Industries benefiting from the Uffizio + Melta integration

This hardware-software partnership is already making a difference across multiple sectors:
