Do you know if your fleet has a high carbon footprint? Are you looking to implement ESG into your fleet to keep track of your carbon footprint? Then check out this FAQ page on exactly how an advanced fleet management system from Cartrack is the answer you need!
An ESG carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emitted by a business or organisation, either directly or indirectly across their entire operation line.
Sustainability is more of a broad term that comprises your company's long-term environmental goals. ESG is a very specific data-driven model used to evaluate, assess and report a business’ progress towards achieving those goals.
A fleet management system can help reduce your carbon footprint in the following ways:
The top five sources of carbon emissions are:
Cartrack’s fleet management system will give you data and reports on fuel consumption, driver behaviour, vehicle performance, and routing. The data and reports from all these will give you insights into your company’s carbon emissions.
According to stats, the largest contributor to carbon emissions is China, which accounts for 33.12% of the world's carbon emissions. They’re followed by the United States (11.69%) and India (7.96%).
The best approach would be to have a mixed fleet.Investing in EVs for shorter trips (less worry about charging stations) and using your diesel trucks for your long-distance and heavy-load routes (they have better range and are easy to refuel).
It’s possible, as the world and industry are moving towards more sustainable and environmentally friendly habits. However, diesel trucks are still essential thanks to their range, torque, and durability.
To successfully transition to an EV fleet, start slow. Add one or two EV trucks to your fleet, install charging stations in your depot and then monitor how these vehicles perform for your business. This way you’ll be able to see if they’re able to keep with the needs and demands of your operations. Installing a telematics system into your EVs will help you get accurate data on how these vehicles are performing.
You can reach your ESG goals and be profitable only if you’ve embedded sustainability into your core operations. Setting realistic targets and using technology like telematics will help you achieve your ESG goals and keep you profitable.
