The service organizations like utilities, equipment suppliers, telcos, corporations and rental agencies utilize million fleet of vehicles every year each running about 25,000 miles per year. This causes a huge carbon footprint. Becoming eco-friendly is the buzz word and should not be overlooked. The service organizations need to go green at the earliest if not already gone green.
These organizations should try to reduce the fuel consumption. For it repeated visits to one place needs to be avoided. Work and delivery should be well planned. Regular maintenance of the vehicles can reduce the consumption of fuel.
Try to plan better routes for field workers and technicians for their field visits. This will also reduce total mileage by some percentage. Location based services including street level routing can reduce the travel time of the companies.
Let the employees work from home at least once a week. This will boost employees’ morale and save fuel and electricity of the organizations.
