Cut fleet emissions with Lightfoot

Take action now to decarbonise your fleet, reduce its environmental impact, and embrace a greener future

Achieve your green fleet goals for long-term sustainability

With decarbonisation at the top of many fleet agendas, now is the time to focus on reducing fleet emissions, cutting carbon, and adopting new, more environmentally conscious technology such as EVs. The good news is that it’s easy being green with Lightfoot’s pioneering sustainability solutions.

Wherever you are on your journey to a cleaner, greener fleet, our green fleet management software will help you take the lead on sustainable fleet performance and hit your ESG targets, ensuring you have everything you need to manage your fleet resources and build a better world through your business.

Reducing carbon emissions

Transportation accounts for almost a quarter of the UK’s carbon emissions, making it the most polluting sector in our economy. Every fleet clearly has a responsibility to shrink its carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future, but you may be surprised to learn that all it takes is small, simple changes for your fleet to make a big difference to the environment.

Lightfoot helps you transition towards a greener fleet by changing the way your drivers behave behind the wheel. Aggressive driving habits – such as rapid acceleration, harsh braking, and travelling at excessive speeds – are replaced with smoother, more efficient driving practices, as Lightfoot’s in-cab coaching device will deliver real-time feedback that helps your drivers correct their handling in the moment and drive more economically. This reduces fuel consumption, leading to 15% fewer CO2 emissions being released. Lightfoot can also put a stop to unnecessary engine idling, with timed alerts helping to create awareness and remind drivers to switch the engine off whenever they’re able to, preventing more avoidable vehicle emissions.

Controlling air pollution

NOx emissions, or oxides of nitrogen, make up some of the many harmful greenhouse gases produced by the internal combustion engines found in petrol and diesel vehicles. These emissions are one of the leading causes of air pollution, particularly in urban areas, as they contribute to the formation of smog and acid rain, making them a significant health hazard. Transportation is thought to cause around 54% of all manmade NOx, with aggressive driving habits leading to a greater level of emissions being produced.

Research from the University of Bath’s Institute of Advanced Automotive Propulsion Systems (IAAPS) found that installing Lightfoot’s driver coaching technology in a vehicle can lead to a fivefold reduction in NOx. As your drivers learn to adopt a safer style of driving, they’ll travel in a way that is easier on their vehicle’s engine, resulting in lower fuel consumption and less time spent in high revs. These simple behavioural changes can therefore have a considerable impact on your fleet’s sustainability and environmental targets.

"There are millions of vehicles out there, diesel vehicles especially, dependent completely on driver behaviour to reduce the amount of emissions they produce. Now Lightfoot can make that happen. That's really powerful."

Professor of Automotive Propulsion and Director of IAAPS, University of Bath

Improving vehicle condition

Exhaust emissions such as CO2 and NOx are only part of the picture when it comes to monitoring your fleet’s environmental impact. An often-overlooked source of air pollution is the non-exhaust emissions (NEE) that are released as a result of typical vehicle wear and tear, including brake wear and tyre wear. Harmful particle matter from tyres is a growing problem, and one that affects ICE vehicles and EVs alike.

Reducing everyday vehicle wear and tear is an important part of operating a sustainable fleet, and that’s where Lightfoot’s revolutionary technology can help. By encouraging your drivers to go steadier and drive in a less damaging manner, Lightfoot is proven to cut wear and tear by 45%. This not only prevents your fleet from releasing unnecessary amounts of harmful particulates, but it also helps to extend the life of your vehicles, resulting in further positive environmental impact.

Making the switch

There’s no denying that the future of fleets is electric. Transitioning to EVs is seen as an essential step to reducing the carbon footprint of transportation, and here at Lightfoot we’re doing everything we can to make the adoption of EV technology as stress-free as possible for fleet operators.

When your fleet is ready to move away from petrol and diesel vehicles, we’ll be right there alongside you as you build your electric fleet. Our cutting-edge EV fleet management solution makes it seamless for drivers to move from smoother driving in an ICE vehicle to smoother driving in EVs, with Lightfoot helping to increase average journey range by 15%. We’ll also help you put effective charging habits in place from the get-go, with driver incentives and reminders to ensure no vehicles are left undercharged and an automated charge expense management system for easy reimbursement and reporting.
