EV & Sustainability-How can I drive a sustainable fleet (Even beyond EVs)?

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Charlotte Argue of Geotab discusses driving sustainable fleets by adopting a holistic approach beyond just electric vehicles. Sustainability in fleets focuses primarily on emissions reduction due to their environmental, health, and financial impacts, but also includes addressing waste, congestion, and safety. Fleet sustainability involves two main strategies: using more efficient, lower-emission vehicles and operating vehicles more efficiently. Efficient vehicles can include those with optimized fuel types, aerodynamic designs, right sizing, and advanced technologies. Efficient usage includes eco-driving practices, route optimization, load management, and proper maintenance. Leveraging telematics and fleet data is crucial to identify inefficiencies, prioritize actions, implement programs, and track progress with clear KPIs. Metrics should reflect overall goals like emission reductions and fuel use, as well as actionable supporting data tailored to stakeholders. The key takeaways emphasize a multi-faceted, adaptable strategy using data-driven insights and technology, encouraging fleets to start gradually and continuously improve their sustainability efforts.
