Air pollution is one of the world’s largest health and environmental problems. It is also one of the world’s leading risk factors for death, attributed to an estimated 11.65% of deaths globally. Fleet Advantage recognizes Air Quality Awareness Week 2022 by offering complimentary Emissions Scorecards for corporate transportation fleets.
Each year, the NOAA National Weather Service, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), US Forest Service, and US Department of State join the EPA to recognize and celebrate Air Quality Awareness Week. Its theme this year is “Be Air Aware and Prepared!” The goal is to promote events that increase air quality awareness and encourage checking the Air Quality Index daily.
“Since the day we opened our doors, our company has been focused on bringing about change to the industry through lower carbon output and cleaner air quality,” says Katerina Jones, vice president of marketing and business development for Fleet Advantage. “Our innovative programs illustrate the deep commitment we have to helping our corporate fleet partners serve as industry leaders while driving significant change for the benefit of our nation’s air quality.”
FLEET MODERNIZATION STUDIES & EMISSIONS SCORECARDS
Through Fleet Advantage’s pioneering efforts, the transportation fleet industry now pays closer attention to truck life cycles. This helps them understand where they can drive sustainability measures by optimizing replacement cycles. Rather than overusing the truck, Fleet Modernization Studies and Emissions Scorecards help fleets determine an optimum procurement and disposal strategy.
Part of the comprehensive Fleet Modernization Study, the Emissions Scorecard reviews the entire fleet by year, make, and model. It then compares fuel and mileage data and provides information on CO2 reduction in metric tons and fuel saved. It also includes information on each time the fleet replaced the truck as well as forecasted savings.
Fleet Advantage customers operate fleets with lower cost per mile, a reduced carbon footprint, and improved safety and driver morale. This is due to the fact that customers maintain their fleet’s average life at about two to three years. This helps compliment ESG strategies for its customers in their goal to report to regulators and critical stakeholders.
In March, the company announced a new program to help corporate truck fleets certify their greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) output, as recently mandated under a proposed rule issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Fleet Advantage is the only finance lessor that has been certifying such measures for a decade with a focus on tractor trailer fleets that operate high annual mileages (MPY).
