Description

Carbon abatement mechanism

Car fleet management is primarily used for satellite navigation and feedback on driver behaviour. This includes fleet management systems which may be used for optimised routing and avoiding congested areas, reducing fuel consumption, and telematics systems, which can offer real time feedback to drivers.

The implementation of fleet management systems enables optimised routing and dispatching of vehicles, improved driving behaviour and reduced fuel consumption that leads to carbon reduction. Fuel savings per vehicle due to the fleet management system are assumed to be 6% for cars and 5% (when adjusted to eliminate potential double counting of avoided emissions associated with the Connected Car use case, which is listed as a separate use case). The implementation of fleet management systems enables optimised routing and dispatching of vehicles, improved driving behaviour and reduced fuel consumption that leads to carbon reduction. Fuel savings per vehicle due to the fleet management system are assumed to be 6% for HGVs. The implementation of fleet management systems enables optimised routing and dispatching of vehicles, improved driving behaviour and reduced fuel consumption that leads to carbon reduction. Fuel savings per vehicle due to the fleet management system are assumed to be 6% for LGVs. Connected buses can communicate with traffic light systems to prioritise bus routes, improving fuel efficiency. GPS location services can also be used to inform passengers of bus arrival times. Both features can help to increase bus patronage and improve emissions per passenger. Fuel savings per vehicle due to the fleet management system are assumed to be 6% for buses. The implementation of fleet management systems enables optimised routing and dispatching of vehicles, improved driving behaviour and reduced fuel consumption that leads to carbon reduction. Fuel savings per vehicle due to the fleet management system are assumed to be 6% for mixed vehicles. The implementation of fleet management systems enables optimised routing and dispatching of vehicles, improved driving behaviour and reduced fuel consumption that leads to carbon reduction. Fuel savings per vehicle due to the fleet management system are assumed to be 4.2%.

HGV fleet management is primarily used for satellite navigation and feedback on driver behaviour. This includes fleet management systems which may be used for optimised routing and avoiding congested areas, reducing fuel consumption, and telematics systems, which can offer real time feedback to drivers. LGV fleet management is primarily used for optimised delivery and dispatch routing, fuel consumption tracking, and monitoring of driver performance. Fleet management systems optimise delivery and dispatch routing, minimising unnecessary journeys, while telematics systems can offer real time feedback to drivers. Connected telematics system that consist of an in-vehicle unit (IVU) connected to a central server. This feeds back real-time information on the global positioning system ( ‘ GPS ’ ) location of the vehicle and may include other performance metrics such as fuel consumption and driver performance. Fleet management is primarily used for satellite navigation and feedback on driver behaviour. This includes fleet management systems which may be used for optimised routing and avoiding congested areas, reducing fuel consumption, and telematics systems, which can offer real time feedback to drivers. VBFA gathers real-time operational data and actionable insights on fleet performance to maximise vehicle performance, keep employees safe and manage routes with connected intelligence and in doing so the solution reduces fuel consumption.
