1. A fuel management system comprising:
- a centralized processor;
a first module of the centralized processor configured to receive a plurality of fuel transaction data points from one or more fuelling stations;
a second module of the centralized processor configured to receive a plurality of vehicle parameters from one or more vehicles;
a third module of the centralized processor configured to process, according to a pre-defined set of rules, at least a part of the data received by the first module and the second module in combination with a set of information associated with each vehicle accessible to the third module, and to generate one or more reports providing a summary of the processing comprising analysis on fuel consumption, fuel fraud, CO2 emission, driver behavior and journey breakdown, and to calculate the vehicle mass in real-time, using mass inputs, to determine a distance weighted average payload of the vehicle; and
a fourth module of the centralized processor configured to store the one or more reports generated by the third module.

8. A method for fuel management comprising:
-
receiving a plurality of fuel transaction data points at a centralized processor from a plurality of fuelling stations; receiving a plurality of vehicle parameters at the centralized processor from a plurality of vehicles; and processing, using the centralized processor, according to a pre-defined set of rules, at least a part of the fuel transaction data points and the vehicle parameters in combination with a set of information associated with each vehicle accessible to the centralized processor; calculating a vehicle mass for at least one of the plurality of vehicles in real-time, using mass inputs, to determine a distance weighted average payload of the at least one vehicle; generating one or more reports providing a summary of the processing comprising analysis on fuel consumption, fuel fraud, fuel theft, fuel overfill, CO2 emission, driver behavior and journey breakdown; and storing the one or more reports generated in a memory unit of the centralized processor.
