Vehicle movement company Engineius says it has saved fleets more than 10 million tonnes of CO2 emissions since its launch in 2018.
It says it has achieved this by not using chaser vehicles when drivers are moving between pick-up and drop-off sites.
It says its platform joins suitable movements together where possible, thus reducing empty legs. When this is not possible, drivers use public transport.
Engineius founder and CEO Chris Clibbery said: “Our vision was to make vehicle movement easy but to also adopt best practices and raise industry standards.
“Engineius provides vehicle movement for customers from all automotive sectors, who benefit from each other through the scale and diversity of their vehicle movements along with geographical locations.
“Fuel savings, alongside labour and operational costs are also achieved by not using chaser vehicles. Imagine paying for 240 miles of fuel on a 100-mile movement!”
Engineius says other eco initiatives include driving rather than transporting EVs, and carbon offsetting.
Clibbery added: “Carbon reduction isn’t all about electrification, and small wins matter in the road to net zero – though we are proud to say a saving of over 10 million tonnes of CO2 is actually a big win for the environment!”
