Geotab introduces new fleet sustainability solutions
Geotab Inc. recently announced a comprehensive suite of data-driven sustainability solutions that it said addresses decarbonization, cost management and opportunities to improve performance, including a Greenhouse Gas Emissions Report. Geotab made the announcement at Mobility Connect in Milan.
“Climate change is an urgent challenge, and at Geotab, we know you can’t manage what you don’t measure. Geotab’s sustainable fleet solutions empower fleets with precise data insights to track their emissions and fuel use, manage EV charging, reporting and compliance, and set targets for the future,” said Edward Kulperger, senior vice president, Europe at Geotab. “As the transportation industry evolves and requirements change, Geotab is developing the tools and solutions needed for compliance and business growth.”
Solutions integrated in the MyGeotab platform, according to Geotab, include:
• Geotab Sustainability Center
The Geotab Sustainability Center provides actionable insights and pinpoints opportunities for emissions reduction to support fuel and energy savings and performance optimization, the company said. Integrated in MyGeotab, the Sustainability Center empowers fleets to track fleet emissions and the potential to reduce them using idling reduction and electrification, monitor avoided tailpipe emissions, emissions generated, and fuel economy, identify emission reduction opportunities and explore electrification options.
• Gas Emissions Calculation Method
More than 50,000 European companies and 10,000 international companies will need to submit sustainability disclosures based on the CSRD mandate. Having access to accurate and reliable data is critical to the disclosure and compliance process.
Geotab says its Greenhouse Gas Emissions Report provides a reliable method of tracking greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from fleet vehicles, automating the calculation of carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2-eq). TÜV Rheinland has certified the CO2 calculation method of the Geotab Greenhouse Gas Report for measuring Scope 1 GHG vehicle emissions.1 Using telematics, companies can obtain precise, near-real-time data on vehicle emissions, avoiding the uncertainty of manual data collection and the potential for human error, the company said.
• Electric Vehicle Suitability Assessment (EVSA)
Adopting electric vehicles can be a complex decision for fleets. The Geotab EVSA helps fleets build a business case for electrification by providing a clear picture of environmental and financial impacts based on real-world data. The latest version includes Automatic Vehicle Type Detection to streamline vehicle selection and comparison.
The Geotab EVSA creates a customized fleet electrification blueprint that determines EV suitability replacement, considering performance needs, vehicle model/make preference, and charging availability.
• EV Charge Monitoring
Scaling up EVs, and multiplying the positive impacts of decarbonization, requires robust charging management tools and quality data. With EV Charge Monitoring from Geotab, fleets can get a comprehensive overview of the charge status of their EVs with alerts functionality to ensure fleet EVs are charged and ready to go when needed, the company said.
