DOHA: The Ministry of Municipality and Environment represented by the Mechanical Equipment Department has installed a new system, an electronic microchip system in fuel tanks of its 2006 vehicles, in coordination with the Qatar Fuel ( Woqod) to monitor refuelling.
The move is part of a programme run by the Ministry to improve its services and to make them efficient. The system, named ‘WOQODe’, works on a microchip affixed near the fuel tank opening to monitor the fuel consumption by government institutions and private companies which are having a number of vehicles in a bid to reduce the expenditures by reducing the consumption, said Safar Mubarak Al Shafi, the Director of the General Cleanness at the Ministry of Municipality and Environment in a statement.
He said that Woqode is a sophisticated device which will help monitor the refuelling of all vehicles of the Ministry and help prepare detailed reports about the fuel consumption.
“The system has made remarkable achievement in monitoring the fuel consumption, therefore the Mechanical Equipment Department came forward to implement it,” said Al Shafi.
He hinted that Woqode will save time and efforts and help the department in turning into automatic by cancelling the traditional way of issuing paper coupons for refuelling the vehicles. “The system will help ratioanlise the consumption of fuel and monitor the uses of fuel to each employees as per the job nature,” said Al Shafi.
