How can I drive a sustainable fleet (Even beyond EVs)?

Video Summary

Charlotte Argue from Geotab explains how to build a sustainable fleet through a holistic approach, not just by switching to electric vehicles. She defines sustainability as balancing people, planet, and profit, and notes that fleets often prioritize emissions because they affect health, carbon footprint, and fuel costs. Key strategies include using more efficient vehicles, right-sizing the fleet, improving driver behavior, optimizing routes, managing loads, and maintaining vehicles properly. She emphasizes that every fleet is different, so managers should use data to establish a baseline, identify quick wins, implement programs, and track results. Important metrics include total emissions, fuel use, and normalized measures like emissions per mile or fuel per ton-mile, plus supporting metrics such as idling hours. The main message: start with data, choose the right actions, and use technology to measure progress and prove ROI.
