The start point for the best source of fleet information |
Fleet managers in Europe have the opportunity to lower the world's pollution figures and save themselves around £20 billion a year, according to report by Greenpeace.
The report estimated that 45% of the greenhouse gas emissions from road transport in Europe come from fleets and that fleet operators are responsible for 54% of new vehicle purchases in the UK.
The report, Saving Fuel, Saving Costs, details the corporate fleet sector, the environmental impacts and financial costs of fleet's fuel usage and options for reducing both.
The report also claims that in the UK 29,000 premature deaths occur annually from air pollution, while it said that oil is responsible for more CO2 emissions than any other fuel in Europe.
Greenpeace cited an example of cost-cutting through green car policies. A German company gave its employees mandatory CO2 emission limits for their new car choices. The company said it saved 8% on fuel and reduced its emissions by 50 tonnes of CO2 in the first year.
