investments twice as much in this short term.
8. Up to the present date Lamborghini
continues manufacturing agricultural
equipment. Its subsidiary company Trattori
Lamborghini, manufacturer of tractors,
is now based in Bulgaria. Being a part of
Same Deutz-Fahr Group it occupies the
leading positions in the world. Products
manufactured by the concern are
characterized by innovative technology, the
highest standards of quality and reliability.
Lamborghini, an Italian brand and manufacturer
of luxury sport cars, is the company which started
business as a producer of farm tractors and other
agricultural machinery.
10. With tough intensifying competition in
the market of agricultural machinery
the company was searching for more
competitive strengths which could
advance its production and make it more
efficient and convenient in use for clients.
Thus, recently Lamborghini management
has drawn its attention to technological
solutions of Omnicomm, internation
hi-tech industrial company, one of the
leading developers and manucfacturers
of fuel monitoring and fleet management
solutions. Omnicomm fuel monitoring
system raised interest of Lamborghini
top management. After a series of quick
negotiations the Italian concern made a
decision to start a long-term joint project.
As part of cooperation 150-200 tractors
manufactured by Trattori Lamborghini
plant in Bulgaria will be annually equipped
with Omnicomm fuel level sensors.
Omnicomm equipment has become
a strong competitive advantage for
Lamborghini.
It is known that fuel expenses comprise
a significant part of agricultural products
prime cost. Upon those long distances,
refueling of equipment in the field, as well
as the low level of wages in the agricultural
sector, require use of special equipment
counteracting fuel drain and misuse of
technology, which, unfortunately, are
widespread worldwide.
Representatives of Trattori Lamborghini
acknowledge that Omnicomm fuel level
sensors allow their customers to control the
petroleum flow better, i.e. prevent fuel drain
and fleet misuse providing visible results.
LAMBORGHINI TRACTORS ARE EQUIPPED WITH
OMNICOMM LLS RIGHT ON THE CONVEYOR
11. “Today the companies manufacturing agricultural machinery are fighting
for leading positions in the market by producing not only quality and reliable
products, but also by adding innovation to use them in the most optimum way.
Omnicomm fuel level sensors allow making control of the real amount of fuel
received and consumed and resist the theft of petroleum, thus making use of
tractors cheaper and more effective for their owners. It is especially important in
the face of financial crisis”.

While preparing for the race it is
highly important to accurately
calculate the required amount
of fuel in the tank. During the
race it is no less important to
monitor fuel consumption to
know its exact amount in the tank. Every
liter of fuel adds weight to the truck, so it
makes no sense to take fuel “in reserve”.
REAL LIFE CASE
In KAMAZ-master’s long-term practice
of participation in rally-raids there were
cases when the race organizers were late
in informing the race participants about
changes in road surface. In Dakar 2005
with a total route of 600 km the crew ran
out of fuel within just 50 km of the finish
line. Original fuel calculations were made
for hard route surface, but the organizers
changed the route and selected soft
shifting sand due to the heat. As a result the
team was only finished 18th.
In addition to fuel control Omnicomm
fleet management system allows the team
to track the route and characteristics
of trucks running during practice
races, remotely monitor truck location
and technical condition of vehicles,
which is especially important during
test-drives while preparing to the most
extreme international races - “Dakar”, “Silk
Way”and “Gold of Kagan”.
OMNICOMMSPECIALSOLUTIONS
FORKAMAZ-MASTER
Especially for the KAMAZ-master team
Omnicommhasdevelopedanew,advanced
multi-function LLD display, installed in
the truck cabin. LLD display allows the
crew to receive real-time information
about amount of fuel remained, control
consumption and monitor the amount of
fuel left until refueling. Every extra liter in
the tank overloads the truck, and it’s of great
importance to calculate fuel consumption
for the whole route taking into account all
modes of engine operation and different
coatings during all the rally.
“We have chosen Omnicomm as a technological partner of our team.
Omnicomm solutions are able to operate smoothly throughout the entire
rally extreme route, in high vibration and high temperature conditions
being fully aware of fuel on board. Reliable. Accurate. Flawless. Omnicomm
fuel level sensors are our warning signal. Now the navigator is aware of
exact fuel consumption at any stage of the way, how much fuel is left in
the tank and how many miles the truck would pass with remaining fuel.
This information allows to calculate the necessary amount of fuel very
accurately for different sections of the route and not to carry extra liters of
excess weight what is very important for a racing car under competitions
conditions”.

THE FIRST STAGE
The first test installation of Omnicomm
fuel monitoring equipment was carried
out in 2012 in the hot summer conditions
of the tough road rally “Gold of Kagan”. The
decision to test Omnicomm equipment was
made by the team of one support vehicle
which participated in that race. Strong
shaking of fuel in the tank and extreme
track conditions did not affect the accuracy
of readings. That made it possible for the
team to constantly monitor the exact
amount of fuel in the tank.
THE SECOND STAGE
The second test for Omnicomm equipment
was held during the famous Dakar rally
in January 2013, when the racing team
decided to equip one more vehicle with
the same set of equipment which had been
successfully tested in 2012. Omnicomm
technology functioned faultlessly.The whole
system and its parts proved once again high
accuracy and reliability, confirming itself as
perfect technological solution for quality
performance in harsh conditions. The race
handed a victory to the team.
THE THIRD STAGE
During the third stage of testing
Omnicomm fuel control system was
installed in the majority of racing
trucks. The system was tested once
again during training in Morocco
in May 2013. All the results were at the
same high level, and that confirmed
the decision to equip all the racing
vehicles.
Just before the rally-raid Silk Way-2013 after all tests were carried out successfully KAMAZ-master team fully
equipped the whole fleet of racing and supporting trucks with Omnicomm fuel level sensors, transport
location and technical condition monitoring solution.
After the fault in The Dakar’ 2005 KAMAZ-
master engineers thoroughly investigated
the issue of equipment selection so that
it complies with all the requirements
for reading accuracy and uninterrupted
operations. For several years the team
has tested solutions offered by various
foreign and domestic manufacturers but
each time shortfalls were identified which
did not allow for theto control of fuel
parameters on the required scale. With
other manufacturers there were many
issues when due to shaking and weather
conditions the equipment was providing
wrong inaccurate results and even totally
broke. The team was forced to always
have a measuring dipstick to meter the
amount of fuel in the tank.
After many unsuccessful tests
the technical team drew its attention
to Omnicomm equipment.

A key goal for any government is to
maximize its defensive posture. One critical
aspect of that effort is the effective delivery
and provisioning of fuel in military zones.
COOPERATION WITH OMNICOMM
For example, in Afghanistan, the main
objective set by the United States military
was the prevenation of fuel theft by local
civilian drivers who had been contracted by
the military to deliver fuel. Despite the fact
that transportation of fuel was carried out
using a proprietary military fleet, petroleum
tanker drivers were hired from amongst
the local population. Hiring local personnel
was also necessary because of the inherent
danger of the work involved: attacks on fuel
convoys were not uncommon.The resulting
theft of fuel tankers by these attackers, and
the occasional explosion of such stolen fuel
tankers, caused significant disruption to
military fuel delivery schedules.
After a thorough examination of several
largecompanies,theUnitedStatesmilitary’s
Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) chose
the GlobalTrak solution by Orbcomm; this
chosen solution was fitted with Omnicomm
fuel level sensors LLS 20230. This particular
model of fuel level sensor was chosen to
be integrated in Orbcomm GlobalTrak
transport monitoring solution due to the
reliable explosion-proof characteristics
and the high level of accuracy in harsh
“We see an ever growing market demand for solutions in the field of transport

SPECIFICS OF THE PROJECT
The project was not an ordinary one for
Omnicomm since interaction with the
client was not direct. Omnicomm installed
its fuel level sensors as part of a joint project
with Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and
Orbcomm to equip ISAF logistics units with
transport control systems. All works were
conducted together with Omnicomm’s
American partner, Orbcomm.

Omnicomm took part in the project of
JSC Navigation Information Systems
(JSC NIS) that aimed to create a satellite
corporate transport and fuel consumption
monitoring system at OJSC AK Transneft.
In order to select a partnering company,
the tender contest was organized, which
defined clear requirements to equipment:
• Compliance of the monitoring system
with the requirements of Order No. 285
of the Ministry of Transport of the Russian
Federation
• High level of information security
• Transport positioning accuracy
• Technology monitoring in the conditions
of partial mobile connection by using
alternative communication channels
(satellite, wifi)
In 2011, the project on equipping the
vehicle fleet of OJSC AK Transneft with
Omnicomm fleet management system
was initiated.
Experts rightly consider this project to be
one of the most large-scale and interesting
endeavors in the segment of satellite
transport monitoring.
OJSC AK Transneft is a Russian transport company and an operator
of the main oil pipelines of Russia. The main activity of the company
is transportation of crude oil and petroleum products via the pipeline
system on the territory of Russia and overseas. Transneft and its
subsidiaries have the world’s largest system of oil pipelines - 70
thousand km and over 500 pump stations. The company transports
93% of oil extracted in Russia.
25. Although the process of equipping the fleet
has not yet been completed, we can already
draw preliminary conclusions and evaluate
the economic effect of the system. For the
whole period of cooperation, a tremendous
amount of work has been carried out.
NUMBER OF UNITS EQUIPPED TO DATE
To date, this is how many units
were equipped with the system:
• 17,656 units were equipped with
Omnicomm fuel level sensors
• 3,500 units were equipped with
Omnicomm on-board terminals.
Presently, the transport is being
re-equipped, and existing third-party
monitoring systems are being replaced by
Omnicomm systems. The versatility of the
equipment allows it to be installed on units
of varying complexity and modifications,
and integrate any solutions.
RESULTS
• The solution paid for itself after 1.5 years
of operation
• Fuel costs decreased by 15%
• Operation of the company fleet was
systemized
Thus, based on the monitoring results,
individual basic consumption standards of
fuel for all types of vehicles and their tasks
were defined, making it possible to prevent
theft of fuel and, consequently, reduce the
cost of fuel.
During the project implementation phase,
we managed to increase the efficiency of
fleet management of OJSC AK Transneft,
rule out the misuse of equipment, reduce
the number of required maintenance
sessions and coordinate the work of the
internal services of the company.
RESULTS TO BE ACHIEVED IN THE FINAL
STAGE OF THE PROJECT
• 20,000 units equipped with Omnicomm
fleet management system
• 30,000 installed Omnicomm LLS fuel level
sensors 4,700 installed additional sensors
that control the work of detachable
equipment
• Integration of fleet management system
with with the financial systems of OJSC
AK Transneft.
“The project for the construction of the fleet management system at OJSC AK Transneft can
with no exaggeration be called one of the largest and most complex in Russia. The scope,
territorial distribution, complex company structure, consisting of 36 branches in all regions of

SAVINGS ON FUEL COSTS
SPECIFICS OF EAST AFRICAN
JOINT PROJECT
Diesel consumption is one of the major
operational costs for the fleet, telecom
operators and tower owners. The energy
costs are 80% of the operating expense,
with the generators working 40% in the
daytime.
At the same time the problem of fuel
theft in Africa is really crucial, the rate
of tampering with vehicles is very high.
Normally the drivers are the ones involved
in fuel theft in the country.
Specifically theft happens on stationary
assets which makes it problematic to
identify whether the contractors, guards,
drivers are the ones responsible for it.
During the implementation of large
ambitious projects involving the remote
monitoring of mobile base stations in East
Africa, Galooli decided to apply Omnicomm
LLS fuel level sensors for fuel consumption
monitoring.
In particular, Omnicomm LLS 20160 fuel
level sensors have been installed on over
2,000 diesel generators powering remote
mobile base stations in Uganda. Thanks
to installed Omnicomm equipment the
generator fuel costs have decreased
by 30 - 40%, and overall savings have
amounted to over $5 m per year.
FIGURES OF EFFICIENCY
• The leveloffueltheftinUgandaamounted
toabout40%beforeinstallingOmnicomm
fuel monitoring system, and about 7%
after installing
• Fuel consumption reduced in 34% just in
two years
• The company to save more than $5 m
annually
• Collocation billing from system provides
higher and more efficient revenues stream
Implementation of Omnicomm fuel
monitoring solution in East Africa showed
that fuel lost due to false invoicing and
fuel theft can reach 30-40% of the fuel
expense.
OTHER RESULTS
• After the installation of Omnicomm system
specific areas where fuel theft occurred
were uncovered. One of them is theft
through the return pipe. Thus, earlier when
thefuelmonitoringsystemwasnotapplied,
the return pipe could be removed from the
gensettankernotallowingtheunburntfuel
to return there. It would go to an empty
jerrican instead. This happened at the sites
that mostly ran 24/7 and were guarded
• With the help of the system it became
possible to identify the persons responsible
for theft
• Poor conditions on sites, such as
contaminated fuel, broken generators and
parts, dead batteries etc. were revealed
according to the system parameters

ensures the entire production process.
AtNorilskNickelmorethan5,000vehiclesare
involved in extraction of nickel ore. Special
equipment, such as locomotives, river tugs,
harvesters is used on the ground and in the
mines, on the rivers and in the sea.
Daily operation engages a large number of
transport units and requires huge amount
of fuel for delivery which is made on river
basins during the short summer period
only.
For detailed monitoring of equipment and
efficient fuel control top management and
security department of the company made
a decision to equip Norilsk Nickel fleet with
special monitoring systems.
Norilsk Nickel Group is the world’s largest producer of nickel and palladium,
andoneoftheworld’sleadingproducersofplatinum andcopper.Operationsof
the Group are located on three continents: Europe, Australia, and Africa, in five

32. from Norilsk Nickel test installations of
Omnicomm fleet management system
were carried out on a multi-purpose off
roader located in a hard reaching area. With
installationofOmnicommfleetmanagement
system fuel consumption got totally under
control.
Since there is no one to buy fuel in the
tundra and the factual fuel consumption
rate is low, Omnicomm system did not allow
the drivers to top-up on a full scale. Thus, on
the stage of test installations already, it was
possible to identify and fight the problem of
drivers fixing-up with operators of fuel filling
stations and eliminate false data reports on
top-ups.
COMPARATIVE TESTS
After test installation of Omnicomm fleet
management system comparative tests with
the systems by other manufacturers were
carried out during several months.
Several different transport units – trucks,
bulldozers, diesels – were equipped with
Omnicomm systems. In line the same
transport units were also equipped with
fleet management systems produced by
other manufacturers. During installation
of fleet management equipment third-
party specialists supplying Norilsk Nickel
fleet with fuel monitoring solutions faced a
number of challenges and difficulties, unlike
Omnicomm team.
As a result of a series of tests carried out by
Norilsk Nickel specialists, Omnicomm fuel
consumption control and fleet management
system was chosen.
In 2013 Norilsk Nickel completed the first
stage of Omnicomm equipment installation
aimed at cost optimization of the transport
company. During two months Omnicomm
fleet management system was set on the
first 800 pieces of equipment, this work
REQUIREMENTSTO FLEET MANAGEMENT

DATA TRANSFER
Since the fleet specializes in providing
services for transporting the company’s
top management, all information about
location and movement of vehicles
must be available 24 hours a day and
must be automatically transferred
to the Automated Control Center of
Rostransnadzor (RACC), which monitors
vehicle locations, speed modes, task
execution time, mileage, etc.
ACCURACY
OF TRANSMITTED INFORMATION
Accuracy of the information transmitted to
RACC depends on a route and travel time.
EQUIPMENT RELIABILITY
High reliability of the supplied
equipment is a very important requirement
based on the specificity of vehicle
utilization.
Before commencing the work, OJSC GazpromAvtopredpriyatie organized a tender, where
representatives of the customer identified the requirements to the supplied equipment
and services, as well as to the organizations, which took part in the contest.

37. INSTALLATION STAGES
In April 2012, Omnicomm specialists
implementedapilotprojectandequippeda
Mercedes Sprinter minibus and a CATerpillar
loader with the Omnicomm systems. The
results of the testing showed that - thanks
to Omnicomm fleet management and
fuel consumption monitoring system - the
mileage and the actual time of equipment
operation were reduced.
“The installed equipment accurately shows
the location, speed and route of a vehicle
and informs Rostransnadzor thereof in a
timely manner; in addition, it is included in
the official register of measuring instruments
of the Russian Federation. We tested
Omnicomm fleet management system for a
relatively short period of time - only 2 weeks,
but it was enough for us to decide to equip the
entire fleet of the company with the system”, –
added Anatoli Volkov.
In the summer of 2012, the project
on equipping the fleet of OJSC
GazpromAvtopredpriyatie with Omnicomm
Optim on-board terminals was initiated.
Information on transport operation
now goes directly from the terminal to
Rostransnadzor control center. Installation
and configuration of equipment were
implemented in several stages, and by
the end of the year, the entire fleet of
the company consisting of 149 vehicles
was equipped with Omnicomm Optim
terminals. This solution allows the owner
of the vehicle fleet to quickly receive
information on the location of vehicles, their
speed, on the data obtained from the fuel
level sensors and additional equipment.
The information is presented as a report on
operation of company transport vehicles of
all categories, and it does not matter if they
are all in one place or distributed across
different sites. The information provided
allows for effective implementation of
dispatching and accounting tasks: efficient
management of the fleet that accounts for
the actual status and location of all vehicles.
By the end of 2014, the company plans
to connect the CAN tires of the vehicles
to Omnicomm Optim terminals. This will
further monitor the vehicle’s technical
condition in real time, collect data from all
devices and respond to incorrect work of
defective parts of the vehicle in a timely
manner.
RESULTS
After equipping OJSC
GazpromAvtopredpriyatie the Omnicomm
fleet management system, the following
results were achieved:
• Full return on investment on equipment
through optimizing all logistical
processes
• Mileage reduced by 10%
• Reduced time required to complete the
task
• Obtaining real information on technology
effectiveness (mileage, routes, technical
condition of vehicles).
“We have not conducted special calculations
in order to define the return on investment
in the system, but I can tell you for sure that
the system has already paid for itself during
one year of operation - at least thanks to
the reduced mileage and time required to
complete tasks. However, the specificity
of the fleet activity (transport of the top
management of OJSC Gazprom) will not
entail major savings through the reduction of
transport time. The work is conducted based
ontheprinciple“completethetaskatallcosts”,
andsavingsinthiscasemaygobythewayside.
Fault tolerance of the system is very high.
The information we need is systematically
and promptly delivered to the Rosnadzor

“This system is a new quality step up in our solutions as it brings the mechanisms of fuel monitoring to a
completely new level. Omnicomm LLS digital fuel tank sensors are one of the main components inside our
Dynamic Fuel Dispatch. Their work allows improving real-time performance of Wenco’s integrated products.
Installed now at numerous Wenco client sites and integrated with Wenco Fleet Management System,
Omnicomm capacitive fuel level measurement sensors ensure high accuracy, readability, and stability when
calculating the exact level of fuel in the tank. Our clients report dramatic drop of fuel consumption”.
STANISLAV EMELIANOV
DEPUTY GENERAL DIRECTOR, OMNICOMM
“Our equipment is adjustable to various types of vehicles and machinery. It is a universal fuel consumption
monitoring product to integrate with various types of fleet management systems. Precise telematics solutions
are vital for mining machinery which is consuming large amounts of fuel. Wenco and Omnicomm have been
partnering since 2003. Omnicomm’s equipment integrated in Wenco’s Dynamic Fuel Dispatch allows miners
to know exact amounts of fuel in real-time mode, and thus, save lots of money”.
41. FUEL CONSUMPTION IN MINING
INDUSTRY
Mining is a massive industry involving a
diverse range of energy intensive processes,
such as excavation, mine operation,
material transfer, mineral preparation and
separation.
Mining practically devours energy to
produce ore. Statistics shows, that in the
past decade fuel consumption at the top
miners more than doubled. The massive
haul trucks that transport this ore, burn
larger amounts of diesel in this process.
Furthermore, as open-pit mines age, they
deepen, which forces the haul trucks to
travel longer distances at a higher grade.
That increases fuel consumption even more.
Controlling fuel expenses through efficient
fleet operations is a top priority for all mines.
To create a new efficient fleet management
system for miners Wenco needed precise
and reliable fuel monitoring equipment
which would perfectly integrate within
their original system.
WENCO’S DYNAMIC FUEL DISPATCH
SYSTEM POWERED BY OMNICOMM LLS
With mining fleet management systems
primarily oriented at fuel consumption
optimization, the choice of accurate fuel
monitoring equipment is crucial. The new
Wenco’s system – Dynamic Fuel Dispatch
– was developed to achieve higher rates of
fleet optimization and radically decrease
unnecessary fuel expenditures in mining
industry.
To be precise, Dynamic Fuel Dispatch is
aimed at saving money by reducing fueling
frequency and reducing travel and wait
times at fuel locations, therefore keeping
hauling units in production longer. The
system works by automatically checking
hauling unit fuel levels, and when it is time
to fuel, matching each unit with the most
convenient fuel location. Omnicomm LLS
digital fuel level sensors are at the core of the
system. They ensure highly accurate digital
fuel readings for large mining equipment
which doesn’t have such data automatically.
Omnicomm LLS capacitive fuel level sensors
send data to the fuel dispatching schedule in
Wenco’s fleet control.
Fuel transactions are automatically
recorded during the haul cycle when the
hauling unit comes within the range of the
fuel truck or bay.
Wenco’s fuel dispatching schedule quickly
and easily allows the dispatcher to set, view
and change the fuel schedule, minimizing
down time on the haul cycle.
Fuel consumption monitoring equipment
designedandmanufacturedbyOmnicomm,
allowed Wenco to manage fuel costs in real-
time. Now the system enables just-in-time
refueling, which improves performance of
mining machinery, raising efficiency figures
and finally saving more money.
Omnicomm equipment provided better
logistics for Wenco’s systems. Smooth and
cost-effective operations are now available
to all Wenco’s clients among which there
are major international mining companies.
The improved product is a complete
solution for efficiently managing fuel
scheduling, fuel delivery, and current fuel
tank levels.
Technical engineers at Wenco note:
“Already installed at numerous Wenco client
sites and integrated with Wenco’s Fleet
Management System, Omnicomm capacitive
fuel level sensors ensure high accuracy,
readability and stability when calculating the
exact level of fuel in the tank”.

44. THE TENDER AND TEST INSTALLATIONS
In 2014 STRABAG in Romania came to a
conclusion that the fuel costs were too
big. The company’s management decided
to reduce fuel consumption with the help
of fleet management systems. Following
this objective, a tender was organized. Six
companies competed in the tender. At the
first stage only three of them were selected
for test installation, including Guava 7.
As the second stage began, STRABAG
thoroughly examined different fleet
management equipment to install
in its vehicles. The test installation
lasted for 1 month. In its course three
analogous vehicles were fitted with
fleet management systems of various
manufacturers. Omnicomm equipment
was installed in one Mercedes Actros. As
a result of the testing only Omnicomm
showed the optimum results. After
installation of Omnicomm solutions in
test mode fuel consumption dropped
from 65 liters per 100 km to 43 liters per
100 km. During that month the vehicle
made 8000 km.
In addition to those results, the
management of STRABAG liked the
terms of the contract, which provided
for fast and high-quality installation and
maintenance from Guava 7. That helped
to win the tender, despite the fact that the
prices for the offer were the highest.
SERGIU SOKYRKA
REPRESENTATIVE OF STRABAG IN ROMANIA
“STRABAG is known for very high quality of construction and
engineering. In Romania the company is successfully operating in
many areas including hydraulic engineering and canal construction
as well as redevelopment of supply lines. All these spheres involve

Maxima Trans transports medicines and
medical equipment. Thus, optimization of
shipments and reliability of transportation
play an important role. Delays, idle time,
fuel fraud are unacceptable. To maintain
security of transport and logistics services
Maxima Trans was searching for equipment
which could optimize and secure its cargo
operations bringing reduction of expenses
at the same time.
The installation works were carried out by
CAST Engineering Ltd., Bulgarian system
integrator. The first contact with Maxima
Trans happened at Kamioni truck show in
June 2014, where Omnicomm LLS fuel level
sensorswerepresentedbyCASTEngineering
inside DAF trucks. CAST Engineering
also conducted live demonstrations of
Omnicomm LLS in comparison with other
fuel level measurement devices. Maxima
Trans got interested in trying Omnicomm
fuel monitoring equipment inside their
special fleet.
TEST INSTALLATION
The overall demo period lasted for 14 days.
As Maxima Trans staff state, the results from
installation of Omnicomm fuel monitoring
system were surprising and evident on the
next day.
Fuel efficiency and reduction by 18% was
reached right on the following day. That
immediate effect convinced the company’s
management to install the same equipment
in all the vehicles.
As a result, Cast Engineering equipped
the entire fleet of Maxima Trans which
consists of 20 trucks, each of them with
two fuel tanks. The trucks were fitted with
Omnicomm LLS 20310. The total volume of
diesel in each tank is 1200 liters. Besides, 20
Thermo King 300 liter fridge trailers, each of
them was equipped with fuel level sensors

48. In March 2014 Omnicomm fleet management system was tested
by the KAMAZ team and the Russian Geographical Society at
the Pole of Cold. The research expedition was conducted from
February 26 to March 10. It had the following objectives:
• Setting the world record for under-ice immersion in particularly
low temperatures
• Study of the flora and fauna of Lakes Labynkyr and Vorota,
collecting water and soil samples
• Testing technology in low temperatures
“Reliable vehicles. Iron people» is an experiment in survival
of equipment and people in harsh conditions, which united
representatives from all walks of life. Oymyakon, the Pole of
Cold, was where the international team headed: divers from
the research team of the Russian Geographical Society and the
Federation of Underwater Sports, scientists from the Institute
of Biological Issues of the Cryolite Zone of the Siberian Branch
of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and journalists (including
a representative of the Discovery Channel, the Cousteau team
member, Bozhena Ostoich).

50. The path ran from Yakutsk to the
coldest point of the Northern
hemisphere of the planet
- village of Oymyakon, where in 1924,
the lowest temperature of -71.2°C was
recorded.
All participants had their own objectives.
The scientists planned to obtain water
and soil samples from the lakes, which
earlier were not available for research. The
journalists decided to make a film about
the mystical lost Lake of Labynkyr, which,
according to the legend, is inhibited
by a monster, who the locals refer to as
“Labynkyr Devil”. The divers planned
an extreme ice dive, which would beat
the world record. In addition, one of the
members of the expedition had been
authorized to conduct research for the
program of colonization of Mars.
The objective of KAMAZ was to deliver
the expedition to the uninhabited region
of Yakutia and also test the specially
prepared trucks in the conditions of the
circumpolar area.
And you can’t simply call it a transfer:
if the vehicles do not pass, there will be
nothing to show – no records, no shows,
no films. Local residents were sure that
the expedition will not be able to reach its
destination – there was too much snow
that winter.
Before starting the expedition, the KAMAZ
vehicles of Northern specialization were
equipped with additional Omnicomm
Profi on-board terminals, Omnicomm
LLS fuel level sensors, and LLD fuel level
indicators, installed in the cabins. They
made it possible to track down in real
time the location of the expedition, as
well as to assess the remaining fuel and its
quantity required to complete each phase
of the route.
In 2 weeks the expedition team managed
to overcome 2,010 kilometers, 250 of
which were traveled down polar off-roads
and 30, literally, while punching their way
through rocks and snow at a speed of just
over 600 meters per hour.
KAMAZ became the first wheeled vehicle
that managed to go through these lands,
and Omnicomm fleet management
system - the first in its segment to
withstand all tests in extremely low
temperatures.
52. “The Omnicomm system worked perfectly
with our vehicles,” noted Ali Kariyev, the Head
of the Magadan KAMAZ Automobile Center.
“In extreme conditions, the equipment worked
without a glitch, and the fuel level data allowed
us to replenish the fuel on time”.
During the expedition there occured an
emergency situation, as a result of which the
mobile communication with the crew was
interrupted for almost 24 hours. Omnicomm
fleet management system allowed the team to
promptly detect the location of the crew and
pass their coordinates to the command center.
«The most difficult thing to cope with is not
the low temperature, but virtual absence of
communication with the outside world. Now
we can’t even imagine that there are places
where there is no mobile communication and
the Internet...”, – said Angelika Akueva, the
publicist of the expedition.
When they reached Lake Labynkyr, the
research team performed an ice dive, which
set a world record in terms of the depth of a
dive achieved at the Pole of Cold. It was the
first time in the world that somebody dove
to the depth of 59.6 m to the bottom of an
inaccessible water reservoir. In the course of
the research, the participants also collected
samples of the flora and fauna of the Lake for
further study.
Omnicomm fleet management
system became the first in its

54. PARTNERSHIP WITH OMNICOMM
A series of disappointments with the
components for fuel control Mobilisis was
purchasing from two partners in eastern
Europe, led the company to seek a new
reliable manufacturer in the market for the
integrationofhighqualityfuelconsumption
monitoring equipment in Mobilisis brand
fleet management solutions. The two
companies from which Mobilisis was
purchasing fuel monitoring equipment
before did not show good results causing
trouble to the end clients.
After negotiations and trials Omnicomm and
Mobilisis signed a partnership agreement
which has been ongoing up to the present
day.Onespecificof thecooperationbetween
the two companies is that Omnicomm
fuel level sensors have been used to equip
the most various vehicles and the special
transportation of different tonnage. For
instance, Mobilisis installed Omnicomm
LLS inside railway transportation and even
one-of-a-kind in Croatia and only three-in-
Europe huge Zagrebtrans special machines,
a Liebherr mobile crane LTM 11200-9.1
model. The oil tanks of a 108-ton huge crane
can accommodate up to 900 liters of fuel
consumed by two diesels with capacity of
270 and 500 kW. At present Omnicomm LLS
are installed inside 80 AgriculturalTractors in
Croatia, with more projects to follow.
Omnicomm has been cooperating with
Mobilisis for over 4 years.
Since the beginning of the partnership
around 2000 Omnicomm LLS fuel level
sensors have been installed to end clients,
among which are Podravka, the largest
Croatian food company.
INA, the largest Croatian oil company,
LA-LOG, the largest Croatian logistics
company, Croatian Forest - the state
company in charge of forest and wood.
Only for Croatian Forest the company
equipped 600 vehicles, trucks and heavy
machinery with Omnicomm fuel level
sensors.
90% of vehicles utilizing Mobilisis systems
are regular trucks. However, the company
also provides complex fleet management
solutions to all kinds of special equipment.
Among them: railway transport, fuel
stations, construction special machinery
and even unique huge mobile cranes for

56. Yamaha Factory racing team is a squad of prominent champion
racers supported by Yamaha Motor France. The team now consists
of 3 core members: Olivier Pain, Alessandro Botturi and Michael
Metge. They participate in various competitions around the world
including the Dakar, where the riders are not only faced with all
kinds of terrain, but also have to battle incredible temperatures.
Careful measurement of fuel is very important for a racing team.
Yamaha had been considering equipping the rally motorbikes with
fuel monitoring lies for some period of time. Preparing for the rally,
it is necessary to accurately calculate the required amount of fuel in
the tank. During the route it’s vital to monitor fuel consumption to
know its exact amount. Besides, weight of the motorcycle is indeed
a very crucial parameter for racers. It makes no sense taking fuel
“in reserve”.
With the release of the brand new rally motorbike Yamaha WR450F
Rally with only one non-transparent fuel tank the team had to
search for special fuel consumption monitoring equipment.

Racing has been in the heart ofYamaha ever since
the company was founded in 1955.

58. TEST INSTALLATIONS
The previous Yamaha rally motorbikes had
four fuel reservoirs made of transparent
plastic and did not require obligatory fuel
monitoring. The new motorbikes Yamaha
WR450F Rally have only one light carbon
fuel tank mounted underneath the pilot’s
seat. The level of fuel became totally
invisible. That raised the problem of precise
fuel monitoring for Yamaha even more.
Yamaha technical specialists modified
Omnicomm LLS and Omnicomm LLD
installing them in the new Yamaha WR450F
Rally.
During the stage of test installations which
lasted for 2 months, Yamaha purchased
the first trial fuel monitoring equipment,
adapted the access to fuel tank and installed
Omnicomm’s products following significant
modifications. The difficulty was in the sizes
of all the details which had to be adjusted to
fit inside the motorbike.
But despite the difficulties Yamaha decided
to equip their new rally motorbikes with
Omnicomm fuel monitoring solutions. The
team saw that Omnicomm fuel monitoring
equipment had already been involved in
theDakarRallywithKamazMaster.Itproved
to be successful during several races in the
harshest conditions. The second criterion
was that Omnicomm equipment provides
highly accurate fuel consumption figures.
The level of precision is 99.2%.
“We resumed that the product is almost
ideal for us: precise, adjustable and already
tested in extreme environment”, – Mr.
Rodolphe Beau, Technical Director at
Yamaha Motor France commented.
SPECIFICS OF THE PROJECT
Unlike the new motorbike model, the older
Yamaha motorbikes had 4 transparent fuel
tanks. one at the back, one in the center and
two at the front. The two tanks at the front
of the bike were transparent and allowed the
pilot to verify its gasoline consumption. He
used to check fuel level just by looking at it.
However, firstly, it was dangerous because
he was not keeping track of the road, and,
secondly – not accurate because the fuel was
inconstantmotion.Certainly,theevaluations
were totally presumable and imprecise.

59. The new tank was under the seat of a pilot,
so it was impossible to use a mechanical
system, the level indications had to be
clearly visible to the driver.
Although Omnicomm equipment had
already been used in rally vehicles for
Kamaz Master, equipping Yamaha was an
absolutely unique project. Motorcycles are
much smaller than trucks and vehicles. The
team looked at the bike details Yamaha
detached and understood that nothing
was really suitable for the new fuel tank.
Yamaha team, guided by Omnicomm’s
technical support specialists, had to make
quite a few modifications. Omnicomm LLS
and LLD were installed in a motorcycle for
the first time.
• The diameter of electric connection and
the plastic connectors were reduced
• The plate of the sensor was really small
for the storage tank so the square plate
of fuel level sensor had to be removed.
On the new plate Omnicomm LLS is used
without modifications
• Omnicomm LLD 5 sm/ 3sm were required.
The monitors were mounted on the bikes
Christian Caillon, Chief Engineer, Yamaha:
“We faced some difficulties with sizes. The
plate of Omnicomm LLS fuel level sensor was
too small, so the original square plate was
removed. We made a new plate on which
the fuel level sensor is now used without any
changes. We also needed a monitor to track
to fuel left in the reservoir, so we adjusted
Omnicomm LLD to the motorbike. There have
been a lot of efforts but we were eager to
work with Omnicomm to have high-precision
reliable equipment for the team”.
TECHNOLOGICAL PARTNER OF
YAMAHA TEAM
Omnicomm fuel monitoring equipment
made a debut on rally racing motorbikes in
the beginning of 2015. It provided accurate
fuel readings for Yamaha racing team
during Dakar 2015.
Following the results of successful demo
installation, Omnicomm LLS fuel level
sensors and LLD were fitted in 5 rally
racing bikes. The Dakar test proved that
even modified Omnicomm equipment
functioned accurately on motorbikes in
harsh conditions of Dakar rally.
“We always search for the most reliable and efficient products. At the
sametimewelookforthewaystodecreasethevolumeandweightofall
the parts of our bikes. With the new bikes this year we especially needed
fuel monitoring equipment to provide accurate fuel data readings for
the marathon riders. We conducted a thorough Internet search and
came across Omnicomm products. We saw Omnicomm’s equipment
functioning successfully in KAMAZ-master racing trucks during the
rallies in the harshest conditions. Omnicomm LLS gives highly accurate
figures: the precision is 99.2 percent. That is a very good percentage of
accuracy which satisfied our specific needs We tested Omnicomm for 2
months, but the real test was Dakar 2015 where the bike riders are not
only faced with all kinds of terrain, but also have to battle incredible
temperatures. If a product is good on a rally, we keep it for years”.

line locomotives with railway transport
monitoring and fuel control system.
For the purpose of the contest, the testing
program and the working group for the
railway fleet management systems were
created. Organizers of the tests were to
determine the technical and economic
feasibility and usability of the monitoring
systems when used on the locomotives of
the company.
OJSC Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company (UMMC) is a Russian metallurgical company,
the second largest copper producer in Russia. UMMC makes up one technological chain
comprised of the enterprises from the mining, metallurgical, and metal-working industries, as
well as from the Russian construction industry.
66. For testing purposes, JSC
Uralelektromed (a subsidiary of
UMMC) selected two locomotives,
TGM4B and TGM6D, which were equipped
with Omnicomm fuel consumption
monitoring and fleet management
system. Prior to the testing, the working
group members checked the accuracy of
measuring devices of the fuel-dispensing
devices of the selected locomotives. The
testing was conducted by filling up the
measuring calibrated tank.
In the course of the testing of the
Omnicomm equipment, representatives of
the UMMC working group have conducted
a number of activities to determine and
control the following parameters of the
locomotive:
1. Total amount of filled fuel
2. Total amount of drained fuel
3. Remaining fuel in the tanks of the
locomotive
4. Fuel consumption per day, per month
5. Daily mileage of the locomotive
6. Fuel consumption per 1 km, 1 engine
hour, at idle
7. Run time of the engine
8. Locomotive run time when in motion
9. Speed of the locomotive in real time.
At the end of each shift, the obtained
information was collected and analyzed.
To obtain the most objective data, the
following tasks were carried out in addition
to the testing program for the monitoring
systems:
• diesel consumption standards for
locomotives were determined
• the potential of the monitoring system to
control the movement of the locomotive
at low speeds of up to 3 km/h was tested
• test dispensing of diesel fuel of 20, 30, 40,
100 liters in volume was conducted
• weekly and monthly reports on the
operation of the technology were
generated.
“The products of the five companies-
participants of the tender were tested by
the UMMC working groups for 10 months.
During the testing, we have identified
positive and negative aspects of the offered
equipment. For example, the fuel level
sensors of one of the participants regularly
went out of order. The reason was low-
quality performance of the device that
broke when moving large volumes of fuel
in the tank of the locomotive. In some cases,
the specialists of companies-participants
did not respond to our requests in a
timely manner. We also have noted some
positive aspects of the experiment. We
managed to determine fuel consumption
standards 30 thousand more engine hours
of the locomotive engine life and generate
reports, which included the performance
indicators of the locomotive. And, perhaps
most importantly - we have decided to
equip the entire rolling stock of the Ural
Mining and Metallurgical Company with
Omnicomm fleet management system”,–
commented Mikhail Kalinin, Head of the
Division of Motor Vehicles of LLC UMMC
Holding.

67. In December 2012, we began to equip
the rolling stock of the UMMC with the
Omnicomm systems. First of all, we have
modernized shunting and main-line
locomotives, as well as the additional
equipment: trolleys, cranes, and track
machines.Inoneyear,themonitoringsystem
was installed on 130 UMMC units of various
modifications. After a month of operation
of the monitoring system, the UMMC
specialists have drawn some preliminary
results: «Thanks to the optimization of the
technology, we are able to save 50 liters of
fuel a day for just one locomotive. We also
found out that the engine of one idling
locomotive for one month amounts to
46.6% of the total engine run volume with
the total consumption of 5911 liters per
month», added the Head of the Division of
Motor Vehicles of LLC UMMC Holding. 130
units of OJSC UMMC have been equipped
with the Omnicomm systems. Based on this
data, we can conclude that the Omnicomm
fleet management system paid for itself in
less than a month of its operation.
The UMMC leadership, based on the figures
obtained by the Omnicomm monitoring
system, have decided to replace the engines
of the shunting locomotives with more
economical ones. In order to accomplish this,
the Shadrin Auto-Aggregate Plant (part of
the UMMC machine-building complex) has
launched a new line of production aimed at
modernization of the shunting locomotives.
“The modernization allows us to significantly
improve technical and economic
performance of diesel locomotives, in
particular, to increase the service life of
engines by 30 thousand engine hours, to
reduce fuel consumption by up to 30% and
as a consequence, decrease the amount of
harmful emissions into the atmosphere”, –
said the Head of the Division of Motor
Vehicles of LLC UMMC Holding.
It is worth noting that all the machines,
which are delivered to the enterprises of
the Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company,
are equipped with Omnicomm fleet
management system.
“The feasibility of implementing the fleet management system is always connected
to the systematization of the processes; it is sometimes referred to as a transition
from «manual» control to automated monitoring. You can be a very competent and
experienced manager, but if you’ve got the wrong figures on the table, the company’s
losses are inevitable”.

to do the following:
• Obtain information on the operation of
the technology
• Gain control over the fuel as it travels
from the refueling tanker to the gas

management decided to equip the entire
fleet with Omnicomm fuel consumption
monitoring and fleet management system.
“For us, it is important that the equipment works properly in extremely
harsh conditions. For example, the range of temperatures that our
machines have to work in varies from -30 up to +30 degrees Celsius. In
addition, we have to work in a hostile environment under the influence
of precipitation, sea air, chemical and mineral substances, manganese
ore and apatite concentrate. All of these factors have a negative
influence on the equipment and machinery, causing their malfunction.
And equipment has to work 365 days a year in any climatic conditions”.
