    • In August 2026, Samsara launched its Fuel Command Center, unifying fuel-spend analytics, routing via Commercial Navigation, and Coast fuel-card controls to help commercial fleets cut waste, improve fueling decisions, and clamp down on misuse amid volatile fuel prices.
    • An interesting angle is Samsara’s estimate that its U.S. customers had roughly US$2.00 billion in potential fuel-spend savings in the first half of the year, highlighting how the new platform aims to convert previously unrealized efficiencies into measurable cost control for fleet operators.
