How to set up a green fleet action plan with low-cost resources
Sustainability and putting green fleet policies into practice is an integral part of the global environmental solution; something that is now a legal requirement often regulated by new provisions. But there are also ancillary benefits: companies project a better image if they are more eco-friendly as well as saving a great deal on fleet costs.
You might think it takes a huge amount of effort and a big budget to set up a green fleet action plan and get vehicles and staff more eco-friendly, but it is not really the case. There are some actions you can actually take without ruining yourself or spending large amounts of money, which can still bring great results.
Want to know more?
Let’s get started with our green fleet action plan!
#1 - Enjoy the benefits of GPS tracking
If you use a tracking system connected with software able to generate reports, you will gain insight into the driving style of your team, especially with regards to non-green practices that can influence the amount of emissions of your vehicles.
#2 - Reduce the use of your vehicles
You might think this literally means “downtime”, but it actually means optimising routes, making the most out of journeys and eliminating vehicle misuse—another simple way of making your fleet greener.
#3 - Avoid high environmental impact practices
Idling, dangerous driving practices and inefficiencies have to be removed—the less fuel you use, the less CO2 there will be in the atmosphere.
#4 - Do not overload your vehicles
It has to be clear for all drivers that they should only be transporting what is suitable according to their vehicle class, i.e., one vehicle to convey heavy goods and another for light commercial goods. This is not just for reasons of safety and fuel efficiency, but also to adopt the eco-driving ethic.
#5 - Let the fleet manager choose routes
With an adequate system at their disposal which can generate data from vehicles, the fleet manager will be able to choose routes that are greener and require less fuel than others. Feedback from drivers can also be essential, but the route has to be established with consideration to the data.
#6 - Ensure tyres have the correct pressure
Simple, but often forgotten… make sure vehicles have the correct tyre pressure.

OnStar Spreads Holiday Cheer
Santa update, audiobook download and charity
donation with blue button press
DETROIT – OnStar subscribers can get in the Christmas
spirit during holiday travel across the U.S., Canada and Mexico by pushing
their blue button to learn Santa Claus’ whereabouts between Christmas Eve and
Christmas morning.
With support from the North American Aerospace
Defense Command (NORAD) and its 60 years of Santa-tracking experience, OnStar
for the seventh consecutive year will reveal Santa’s location to the curious between
6 a.m. EST Dec. 24 and 5 a.m. EST on Dec. 25.
Additionally, OnStar and its AtYourService partner Audiobooks will offer subscribers complimentary copies of the
Christmas classic “The Night before Christmas,” downloadable via an email link
sent by an OnStar advisor. Everyone in the vehicle can listen to the book on
the Audiobooks mobile app together using Apple CarPlay, Android Auto or a
Bluetooth connection, or individually on any of the up to seven mobile devices
that can be connected separately to the OnStar 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot.
OnStar will also donate a dollar to United Way for Southeast
Michigan and the United Way Mexico for each Santa location call received. Last
year, the calls led to a donation of more than $2,600 to the two organizations.
“The holiday season is all about spreading cheer,
giving back to the community and connecting with others,” said Terry Inch,
OnStar chief operating officer. “OnStar has become a key enabler for that. Our
advisors really enjoy playing the role of Santa’s helper and sharing the joy of
Christmas with our subscribers.”
OnStar is dedicated to the safety and security of
subscribers throughout the year. To support incoming Santa Update requests,
advisor staffing is adjusted to accommodate the extra traffic. On average,
OnStar receives more than two calls per minute and more than 185,000 calls each
day.
Individuals without an OnStar subscription can
follow Santa’s journey via the NORAD Tracks Santa website, Facebook page, Twitter hashtag #NORADSanta or by calling the
hotline at 1-877-HI-NORAD (1-877-446-6723).
OnStar, a wholly owned
subsidiary of GM Holdings LLC (“GM”) that launched in 1996, offers in-vehicle
safety, security, diagnostic, navigation, and connectivity services in
Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, Cadillac, Opel and Vauxhall models, including Automatic Crash Response,
Stolen Vehicle Assistance, Turn-by-Turn Navigation, RemoteLink mobile app and
4G LTE Wi-Fi. OnStar has more than 7 million subscribers in North America,
Europe, China and Brazil. In 2015, OnStar recorded its 1 billionth customer
interaction, topped more than 2 million 4G LTE Wi-Fi equipped-vehicles, and
launched in Opel/Vauxhall.
