Why Utilising Real Time Tracking Can Help You Reduce Your Carbon Footprint

by CMS Supatrak

GPS Tracking has many advantages but did you know that utilising a vehicle tracking system can actively help to reduce your carbon footprint? At a time of great unrest where fuel is concerned thanks to rapidly rising fuel costs and the price of oil now at the highest it has ever been, businesses and especially those that rely on vehicles to trade are feeling the pinch.

Combined with increased pressure on businesses to undertake some Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) with regards to environmental issues, businesses are only now realising the full benefits of real time GPS tracking systems to combat both these issues.

Over the years, developments in wireless telematics have made vehicle tracking systems an essential component of all successful fleet management plans. Their popularity has been largely due to their ability to pinpoint a vehicles location exactly but in more recent years because of their reporting and analytic capabilities.

With the ability to access information about a vehicles position, speed and distance covered combined with detailed reports concerning the driver and their driving style, fleet managers can now accurately work out fuel consumption levels and make important decisions based upon this information.

Not only can this help to demonstrate a company’s compliance with ‘Duty of Care’ and other legal obligations but it can also reduce fleet running costs with regards to both wear and tear on vehicles and fuel costs. When it comes to fleet management, companies both large and small rely on their vehicles in order to trade so it stands to reason that they would want to ensure that all vehicles are in perfect working order.

Vehicle tracking systems thus provide multiple benefits to the companies that use them, allowing them to report on and monitor aspects relating to vehicle financing, vehicle maintenance, vehicle telematics, driver management, fuel management and safety management all of which can contribute to the effective running of a fleet.

If in conclusion then, an effective and efficient fleet of vehicles is one that performs outstandingly, yet conforms to safety regulations and operates on the lowest possible amount of money from the business, then GPS tracking can definitely help achieve this.

Given that modern fleet managers now have more and more issues to worry about, including unnecessary carbon emissions, quality vehicle tracking systems can help you stamp out emissions without cutting corners.
