Is Your Fleet Burning Cash? The “Napkin Calculation” every logistics owner needs to see.

In logistics, “10% fuel savings” sounds like marketing jargon. But when you apply it to the Philippine context—where diesel prices fluctuate, and routes like the Manila-Matnog run are unforgiving—that percentage translates into serious capital. We ran the numbers based on typical long-haul operations in Luzon and VisMin.

Here is the reality:

🚛 SCALE IT UP

The Fleet Multiplier

One truck saves you ₱300k. But you don’t run a single-truck operation.

If you have a fleet of 5 Volvo FH units, that is:

₱1.5 MILLION
in retained earnings every single year.

That is enough capital to:

✅ Cover the downpayment on a new unit
✅ Offset significant maintenance costs
✅ Buffer against diesel price spikes

IT READS THE ROAD	IT DOESN’T RELY ON LUCK
The Volvo I-See technology maps the topography of the road ahead (uphill or downhill). It knows when to coast and when to power up before the driver even sees the incline.	The truck creates the efficiency not the foot on the pedal. this compensates for less experienced drivers and ensures veteran drivers get maximum mileage.

WHAT’S YOUR NUMBER?

Every route is different—whether you are tackling the Kennon Road climb or the flat stretches of NLEX.

We have a Fuel Savings Calculator at the Civic Merchandising office. Let’s plug in your current fleet’s mileage and route data to see exactly how much you could be saving in 2026.
