Current methods of monitoring and controlling exhaust emissions are failing to keep pollution in check, and new legislation is pending in various countries to introduce much tighter emission controls.

Companies around the world have begun to position themselves as ‘green’ by dealing with environmentally friendly companies that comply with either company or industry imposed environmental regulations and policies. Big businesses such as Wal-Mart, Tesco and Marks and Spencers are today committing themselves to reducing carbon emissions as soon as 2009. 

Although government legislation to curb carbon emissions into the environment is expected to be implemented in the next few years, carbon emission reporting has already become a “market” imposed requirement as concern for the environment grows among consumers. Businesses wanting to build goodwill and improve their corporate image have begun to measure and disclose their carbon footprint as a first step to meeting their own objectives for reducing their impact on the environment.

With the direct correlation between fuel consumption and carbon emissions, carbon emission reporting simply makes good business sense. By managing and reducing carbon emissions, carbon emission reporting also enables fleet managers to significantly reduce fuel consumption and improve their bottom line.

KNOW....

• Which drivers and vehicles are driving inefficiently and emitting the most carbon

• Whether new policies, procedures and driver training are effective by checking trends in carbon emission reduction per vehicle, per driver or across your entire fleet

MiX Telematics BENEFITS • Prove compliance with pollution laws • Reduce fuel consumption • Prove reduction in carbon emissions in response to market demand

“Our technology is unique in that it generates much more accurate statistics by calculating what the emissions would be from the various inputs from the engine, rather than directly measuring the exhaust itself.” Alex Willard | Founder | Lysanda Read more about our partnership with Lysanda

MiX TELEMATICS SOLUTION

The MiX Telematics Carbon Emission Reporting solution is a close collaboration with Lysanda, a UK-based vehicle systems developer with unique technology capable of playing a major role in vehicle emissions management. Lysanda technology is unique in that it generates much more accurate statistics by calculating what the emissions would be from the various inputs from the engine, rather than directly measuring the exhaust itself. As a result, the joint solution enables Fleet Managers to accurately measure and report the carbon emissions of their fleet of vehicles. 

Fleet managers can remotely access a continuous stream of data on fuel consumption and carbon emissions from any vehicle in their fleet by integrating Lysanda’s Eco-Log on-board computer with MiX Telematics’ FM300 Communicator fleet management solution. Measuring and keeping track of carbon emissions per vehicle, driver and across your fleet is the first step in reducing carbon emissions and determining the effectiveness of carbon reduction policies and procedures.
