How to manage your vehicle fleet sustainably

Gary Hawthorne of CheckedSafe

In the age of conscious capitalism, sustainability is not just a buzzword - it’s a crucial element of corporate success. We know that going green whilst managing a fleet of vehicles can seem challenging. However, with the right tools, it’s entirely feasible.

Prioritising vehicle maintenance.

You’re busy. You’ve got a lot on your plate. And it might be tempting to overlook minor vehicle issues.

However, carrying out regular preventative maintenance checks is crucial to ensure your fleet is running as efficiently as it should be.

These routine checks can extend the lifespan of your vehicles, prevent breakdowns, reduce fuel consumption and make your operations more eco-friendly.

Enhancing operational oversight.

Next, with tools like Geofencing, you can increase fleet visibility, accurately track team journeys, ensure staff are in the right place at the right time, reduce unnecessary journeys and lower emissions.

Transitioning to Electric Vehicles.

One of the most impactful ways to reduce emissions is transitioning to electric vehicles (EVs). Unlike combustion engine vehicles, EVs are emissions-free and will significantly minimise your greenhouse gases. At CheckedSafe, we provide bespoke templates to check any type of EV vehicle or asset.

Remote work.

Finally, in an era where remote work is the norm, it’s crucial for you to embrace technology that allows you to complete checks and audits remotely. This will reduce your need for travel and consequently reduce your company’s carbon footprint.

Ready to tackle those Net Zero goals and begin making your fleet management more sustainable? As the UK’s leading fleet management provider, CheckedSafe are here to help.
