There is still a long way to go to alternative fuels, but what can we do now to reduce emissions?

Written by Sample HubSpot User | 09 December 2021

Global CO2 emissions must come down. That’s a fact. And the transport industry must do its bit too. In Europe, transport alone accounts for almost a quarter of CO2 emissions. Trucks and buses are taking up a quarter of this.

There are all kinds of developments taking place in this area to bring these emissions down. The Dutch roads are increasingly flooded with electric cars and it is almost impossible to imagine the streets without electric scooters. But the truck industry is lagging behind. With the new climate objectives and the accompanying considerable emission reductions, this is about to change. Various suppliers are busy developing low emission vehicles and even completely electric trucks.

These are great developments, of course, but we think there is still a long way to go. Not only to meet the emissions target in 2030, but also to ensure that we are no longer surprised by electric trucks on Dutch roads. However, that does not mean that nothing can be done in the meantime. There are also alternative ways to reduce emissions in short term, such as reducing unnecessary trips and implementing fuel savings. Easier said than done you might think. With our Fuelsave solution you have the right tool to do this. Not only do you reduce your emissions, you also save fuel. So not only  good for the environment, but for your margin too.

How we do this?
The Fuelsave tool from Route42 enables you to accurately chart the fuel consumption of each truck. Without complicated reports, but in one clear management dashboard. You can easily create your own fleets so that a fair comparison can always be made. This makes it easier to focus on wastage. In a clear hotspot overview with categories you can easily see the items where savings are possible. Our client Van der Slot Transport knows like no other that this tool can lead to significant savings. They have realised a saving of 10% on fuel.
