What they're saying

"It's very good for the environment and it's actually very good for our company in the fuel efficiencies we're going to gain out of this.

But the reduction in emissions is over 90 percent, which is unbelievable.

And it's really the first in the industry."

— David Bronczek, president and CEO, FedEx

Corporate fleets are significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions. Light-and-Medium-Duty vehicles average over 15 metric tons of emissions each year. Heavy-duty vehicles emit even more global warming pollution. These vehicles are also a major source of particulate and other emissions that have been linked to respiratory disease and increased cancer risk.

However, there are significant opportunities to reduce emissions from all corporate vehicles. Many steps can be taken today to improve the efficiency of fleet operations that reduce fuel use, emissions and operating costs. We help leading companies deploy these strategies in their vehicle fleets.

Our Work

We work to improve efficiency and cut pollution in vehicle fleets by working with corporate fleets to measure and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

We produced education materials to teach fleet drivers about fuel-smart driving practices.
We developed an easy-to-use calculator to help fleets measure the greenhouse gas emissions
We maintain a guide to incentive programs to support the purchase of hybrid trucks.
We track the makes and models of hybrid trucks currently available to fleets
In partnership with PHH Arval, a leading fleet management company, we developed and tested a five-step framework companies can use to reduce fleet greenhouse gas emissions.
We partnered with FedEx to develop a hybrid delivery truck that polluted less and performed as well as or better than conventional diesel trucks. As a result of this partnership, the first commercially available medium-duty hybrid trucks hit the road in 2005.
