It is easy to be green
»»Van users should not
shy away from sustainability
challenges, according to The
Fuelcard People. Steve Clarke,
group marketing manager, said:
“We have all heard the song, It’s
Not Easy Being Green, but being
greener is not as tough as some
might think. The easiest place
to start is with monitoring and
managing emissions.”

He said that some emissions
management actions have to
be long-term measures, such as
vehicle procurement strategies.
Others can be carried out
in the medium term, such
rigorous service scheduling and
preventative maintenance.
“Some emissions reduction
measures can be implemented
immediately,” said Steve

Clarke. “These include training
personnel in economical
driving techniques and offering
incentives for lower individual
fuel consumptions - even
checking tyre pressures can help.
The most important action is
to begin with measuring. If you
do not know how high your
emissions are, you can hardly
know if you are reducing them.

Van users can monitor
emissions, vehicle by vehicle,
across the whole fleet by using
CO2Count. This service is
available to any customer of
The Fuelcard People and offers
a fleetwide emissions analysis
alongside every routine invoice.
