Stop Burning Fuel for Power — How Fleets Save with Battery Systems

Every hour a work vehicle idles on site, it burns about a litre of diesel or petrol — for zero kilometres travelled. A fleet of 50 vehicles racking up 1–2 idle hours a day is pouring fuel into thin air. Zeliox replaces idling with battery power that charges while you drive.

THE PROBLEM

Idling Is the Most Expensive Way to Make Power

When a tradie or field tech needs power for tools, chargers, or a laptop, the default move is to leave the engine running. It feels free because the fuel gauge barely moves — but across a year, a single vehicle can burn through hundreds of dollars of fuel without turning a wheel.

Idle Fuel Rate
1–1.5 L/hr
Daily Idle
1–2 hrs
Annual Fuel Waste
~$1,900–$2,650
Fleet of 50
~$95k–$132k
Kilometres Earned
Zero
THE Solution

Charge While Driving, Work Engine-Off

A Zeliox system stores power from the alternator while the vehicle moves, then delivers 240V on site with the engine off. Every idle hour eliminated goes straight to the fuel budget. With solar input as a bonus, the system can top up on site without starting the engine at all.
