As more and more vehicles become environmentally friendly, using a management system for your fleet can help fleet managers reduce their emissions output, whilst saving some money in the process.
According to the recent PricewaterhouseCoopers' Company Car UK report, 37% of companies have put a cap on CO2 emissions.
Management systems for your fleet can help achieve this, firstly by reducing fuel consumption but also be ensuring that you use the right vehicles for your business.
Identifying Where Companies are Emitting too Much CO2 By identifying where a fleet uses its most emissions and how they can reduce this, a vehicle fleet management system can help companies save money whilst helping the environment in the process.
One of the most common ways that companies run up high fleet costs is by drivers leaving vehicles in idle and travelling at different speeds.
Leaving a vehicle in idle can emit unnecessary fumes and waste fuel.
Additionally, drivers who travel at different speeds, rather than maintaining a constant speed will use up their fuel quickly.
The analytical nature of a fleet management system can identify these kinds of things and suggest ways to improve this performance.
By producing reports it allows fleet managers to make informed decisions on the changes they implement.
Choosing the Right Kind of Vehicles Another important feature of this service is providing suitable vehicles.
Some companies might be running up high expenses by not using the right kind of vehicles for their kind of business.
Using a van might be more useful for one company, whereas relying on cars might be better for another.
It is also about choosing the right model, especially with so many new cars produced to be environmentally friendly.
Using a professional fleet management company will give you the tools to asses a car's performance both in terms of fuel consumption and fumes emitted.
