Environmental Benefits of Fleet Tracking

Emissions Reduction

Fleet tracking can help you achieve lower vehicle emissions in a number of ways. First, tracking will help you maximize your fleet’s routing and travel efficiency. This will result in reduced mileage and time on the road, which subsequently reduces fuel usage and emissions released.

Maintenance Schedules

Second, fleet tracking provides you with a platform to better track vehicle maintenance schedules. When your vehicles are well maintained and have their engine and oil checked regularly, the vehicle will drive more smoothly, use fuel more efficiently, and produce fewer emissions.

In addition to the environmental benefits, all of these actions can have a significant positive impact on your bottom line by reducing your fuel costs and avoiding costly repairs that result from missed scheduled maintenance and oil changes.

Idle Reduction

Fleet tracking allows you to monitor your vehicles’ idle time. Idling vehicles burn fuel and give off pollutants the same way moving vehicles do. By monitoring idle time, you can identify employees that are prone to leaving their vehicles idling. This provides an opportunity to train them on better procedures to limit this activity.

Reducing idling will diminish the quantity of dangerous particles released into the air by a vehicle. These particles can have severe adverse effects on humans and particularly children. If a vehicle is idling near a building, such as your office or a customer’s home or place of business, these particles can potentially enter the building through open doors, windows, and air intakes.

Idling also wastes fuel and can actually be more harmful to a vehicle than normal operation. Most newer vehicles do not need to be “warmed up” by idling in cold weather the same way they were in previous years. In fact, warming up only takes 3-5 minutes and running the engine at low speed can cause up to twice the wear and tear on the engine compared to running the engine at full speed.

Go Green to Earn More

Running an environmentally friendly company can have major business benefits. In addition to savings you can achieve through lower fuel expenses and lower maintenance costs, you can also tout your environmental awareness as a positive attribute of your brand. This can make your business much more appealing to climate-conscious consumers that are seeking a provider that shares their values.

Do your part to protect the environment by implementing fleet tracking on your vehicles today and help preserve the planet for future generations.

Optimising routes and maintenance

GPS technology makes it much easier to plan an efficient route and to dispatch the closest possible vehicle to a job. Consistently optimizing routes means a reduction in fuel costs and the amount of time that vehicles are on the road. This in turn reduces maintenance costs and emissions produced by your fleet.

Taking a proactive approach to maintenance is also great way to reduce costs. For example, maintaining optimal tire pressure can increase fuel efficiency, which reduces costs and the fleet's environmental impact. Another example is ensuring that air filters are clean. Clogged air filters can reduce gas mileage by as much as 20 percent. These are relatively simple maintenance tasks, but in the past they have been difficult to track.

With GPS technology, you can set individual monitoring alerts for vehicles in your fleet. This ensures that you are automatically updated when vehicles need maintenance. With fewer surprise vehicle breakdowns, you can schedule maintenance so that your overall fleet capabilities aren’t reduced.
