Idrive and the Environment

Did you know that each year fleet vehicles burn 8.9 billion gallons of fuel annually due to unnecessary idling and speeding? Chances are each of your vehicles burns up to 800 gallons of fuel per year due to unnecessary idling alone, which costs an estimated $2400 per vehicle annually. Now you can identify which vehicles are wasting time and money on excessive idling and speeding.

Did you know that fleet vehicles produced 30% of the CO2 in the atmosphere every day? This equals 174 billion lbs CO2 annually (source: “Idling in the US”, Make a leap). Particularity the vehicles emission has been proven to cause illnesses such as cancer, asthma, heart disease, lung disease and others. Not to mention the effects on the earth ozone air. Not only that this cause problems for our society but they also cost your company money.

Utilizing various technologies, the Idrive Solutions helps to preserve the environment through:

Improved driving styles
Excessive accelerating, braking and inconsiderate driving puts an unnecessary strain on the engine, raising the fuel consumption and increasing the probability of traffic accidents. Addressing this issue leads to lower fuel consumption, better vehicle reliability and greater safety on the road, all of which have significant environmental implications. Idrive provides the means to analyze and correct the driving styles of your drivers.
Reduced fuel consumption
The Idrive Solutions enables you to utilize all the means at your disposal for reducing the fuel consumption and consequentially preserving the environment. From optimizing routes, fleet size and composition, decreasing idling and non-revenue miles, to improving the quality of maintenance and driving styles, Idrive enables you to turn your business into an environmentally friendly one.
Optimized routes
Optimizing routes is an important step in reducing the fuel consumption since driving less means consuming less fuel, reducing the wear and tear on vehicle components and decreasing the probability of traffic accidents resulting in less potential damage to the environment.
Minimized idling
Idling burns 5% of all fuel in US. Nearly a billion tons of diesel fuel per year is wasted on engine idling. Considering these facts, any reductions in engine idling represent a big step towards environment preservation. Less idling means less fuel consumed which, in turn, means less pollutants released into the air. Idrive provides the means to detect and prevent excessive idling, thus making your business more environmentally friendly.
Reduced non-revenue mileage
Non-revenue miles can account for up to 10% of total mileage. Therefore, reducing the number of empty hauls has a positive effect on the environment, since less time spent on the road reduces the amount of pollution caused by vehicles. Additionally, reducing non-revenue mileage decreases the likelihood of traffic accidents and prolongs the vehicle’s lifetime.
Improved vehicle maintenance
There are several ways in which vehicles pollute the environment besides exhaust gas emissions. From various fluid leaks to improper vehicle disposal, owning, operating and disposing of vehicles represents a certain kind of environmental responsibility for the company. Well-maintained vehicles can operate longer, pollute less and have a lower probability of malfunctioning during operation, which can have grave consequences for the environment in cases of dangerous or toxic cargos.
