Fifth Generation FMS new article content ... A Fuel Management System (FMS) of the Fifth generation is one that has no exposed user (driver) controls, displays or consoles. It collects driver, vehicle, vehicle status and fueling information using automatic technologies. Fuel access is allowed only if all criteria are validated using central and/or distributed databases. This provides fuel access security. Information about the fueling transaction is transmitted by any of a variety of media to the Internet, and thereby to a central repository from which it can be used to generate reports, track fuel use, monitor driver behavior and manage preventative maintenance.

Where previous generations of Fuel Management Systems use exposed consoles and control panels which are subject to weather, wear-and-tear, abuse and vandalism, the fifth generation FMS eliminates these and replaces them instead with fully automated systems. This extends the expected life of fifth generation systems tenfold.
