Carillion Introduces Carbon Calculator
Carillion Fleet Management has introduced an easy-to-use online carbon calculator that can help fleets cut their costs and reduce CO2 emissions.
The calculator can be found on the carillion website and the company claims that it is simple to use. Fleet managers can input details about their annual mileage, vehicle mix and the type of fuel used. This data is used to help fleet operators start the process of working out the environmental impact of that company’s fleet.
David Stanley, Head of Business Development, said: “In the current economic climate, it has become increasingly important to recognise areas of a business where cost savings can be made. With our carbon calculator, we can show companies how existing fleet policies may be losing money unnecessarily and advise them on ways to make better use of their assets.”
Carillion claims by using the tool, companies can quickly evaluate their current car and van carbon footprint. The resulting information can then be used to set targets for reducing emissions across the fleet, redevelop vehicle lists to include more fuel efficient cars, and cut costs.
Carillion Fleet Management can also help companies to revise their van fleet policies – recommending smaller vehicles where appropriate that will cut fuel costs and emissions while still remaining fit for purpose. It will also match up their HGV needs with the most appropriate vehicle for the job.
Stanley concluded, “As an independent solutions provider, we’re not tied to any vehicle manufacturer or financial institution. This means we can always source the right vehicle at the best price – from low CO2 cars and trucks to electric vehicles.”
