To reduce your fleet emissions, you must be mindful of the direct correlation between CO2 emissions and fuel consumption. Improving driver behavior is an important factor in conserving fuel and reducing CO2 emissions within your fleet.
Element Fleet Management brings unmatched services and expertise to clients. Our solutions provide opportunities to improve driver behavior, boost fuel efficiency, achieve cost savings, and reduce fleet emissions.
Fleet emissions are the tailpipe emissions generated by a fleet of vehicles as they burn fuel to complete their company operations.
There are multiple strategies to reduce fleet emissions. By shaping driver behavior, fleets benefit from a range of solutions that reduce fuel purchases and fleet emissions. Here are 3 approaches to consider:
Route optimization Driver route optimization supports fleet managers in determining the best routes to do business. It also saves time and money by helping fleets to operate more efficiently.
Eco-driving Eco-driving involves adopting driving behaviors that lead to fewer emissions and less fuel consumption. Eco-driving tips such as limiting idling, speeding, harsh braking, hard acceleration, aggressive driving, and hard cornering can positively influence driver behavior.
Telematics Telematics contains the most powerful tools. It offers real time visibility to monitor and address driver behavior. It allows clients to identify patterns and areas to target for driver training.
Many fleets are setting ambitious sustainability goals to reduce fuel consumption and are adopting alternative fuel vehicles as part of broader economic, social, and governance (ESG) plans.
The fastest way to reduce fleet emissions is by switching to electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrids. In Mexico, alternative fuel vehicles reduce emissions by up to 25% compared to internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. Similarly, adopting EVs helps drivers to offset emissions, as EVs have zero tailpipe emissions. In the United States and Canada, the greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction from driving EVs range between 17.6% to 99.9% when compared to ICE counterparts.
Finally, companies can reduce overall fleet spend as EV adoption brings cost savings by lowering maintenance and fueling costs. Our Arc by Element program provides end-to-end EV support for your fleet transition. Element has tools that clients can leverage to calculate fleet emissions.
Drivers are the direct champions of reducing CO2 emissions, amplified by driver behavior coaching, to highlight fuel economy benefits that can make fleet optimization go further in reducing carbon emissions.

Client in the food service industry committed to reducing their carbon emissions by 34% by 2025.
Client’s leadership is targeting improvements in both direct and indirect GHG emissions. Improving fuel efficiency was a top priority in their recent Global OEM bid.
Element presented its Life Cycle Cost Analysis showing the projected impact on the client’s carbon footprint by moving to more fuel-efficient vehicles for their sales fleet.
The slightly higher up-front cost was offset by reduced fuel and lower CO2 emissions.
Moving to hybrid vehicles reduced emissions by 1.6 metric tonnes annually per vehicle.
320 Metric Tonnes annual reduction.
Projected fuel savings of $2,100 per vehicle.
