Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

The overall objective of the study is to show what action can be taken by corporate fleet operators with the aim of greening fleets and reducing costs. In order to do so, the specific objectives of this study are to: 1. explore the contribution of corporate fleets to worldwide oil consumption and GHG emissions, and the Total Costs of Ownership (TCO) - fuel costs in particular n of corporate fleets; 2. summarise available (groups of) measures which fleet owners can adopt to reduce the fuel consumption of passenger transport (company car fleets in particular) and freight transport (van and truck fleets in particular), including the reduction potential, monetary savings, and other benefits of these measures.
