Client: Daimler Truck Southern Africa (DTSA) Speaker: Maretha Gerber, President and Group CEO, Daimler Truck South Africa Ltd. Objective: Deliver the most reliable, fuel-efficient trucks to market while reducing fuel loss and lowering total cost of ownership for Actros customers. Challenge: Diesel losses from siphoning, skimming, and spillages were driving up operational costs and creating environmental risks. Decision: In April 2022, DTSA began factory-fitting TankSafe® Optimum on its Mercedes-Benz Actros range to secure fuel tanks and protect customer profitability.
How TankSafe® Helped Their Business
Eliminated fuel theft and wastage: TankSafe® Optimum’s 3-in-1 protection stops siphoning, skimming, and overfilling/spills — ensuring every drop of diesel remains in the tank.
Reduced total cost of ownership: By preventing theft and wastage, fleets save on unplanned fuel purchases, reduce downtime, and improve real-world fuel economy.
Seamless OEM integration: The device can be fitted in under 5 minutes, making it ideal for both factory installations and fleet retrofits without operational disruption.
Safety and sustainability benefits: Preventing fuel spillage not only improves site safety but also reduces environmental impact, aligning with DTSA’s commitment to responsible operations.

Client: Babcock International Group – Africa Speaker: Marius Barnand, Managing Director – Transport Solutions. Babcock International Group. Objective: Offer fleet customers in South Africa comprehensive anti-fuel-theft protection as standard equipment on new DAF trucks. Challenge: Rising diesel prices and increasing fuel theft (siphoning/skimming) were significantly eroding fleet profitability — in some cases up to thousands of liters per truck annually, translating into tens of thousands of Rands in losses. Decision: Babcock became the first truck supplier in South Africa to standardize the TankSafe® Optimum device on all new DAF trucks to lock down fuel security and protect customer ROI.
How TankSafe® Helped Their Business
Full fuel lockdown: TankSafe® Optimum provides three-in-one protection—preventing fuel siphoning, skimming, and overfilling / spillage—ensuring maximum fuel retention.
Significant savings: Even modest siphoning (e.g., ~25 L per fill) can lead to ~2,500 L loss per truck annually. With rising diesel prices, this loss could exceed R60,000 per truck each year—and much more across larger fleets. The Optimum device stops this drain completely.
Competitive advantage: By fitting TankSafe® Optimum (and additional modules like SenderSafe and DrainSafe) as standard on DAF trucks, Babcock offered unmatched peace of mind and cost benefits to customers.
Brand alignment: Implementing this innovation reinforced Babcock’s commitment to its corporate purpose of “creating a safe and secure world together”, while resolving a real operational pain point.
