Leverage Real Technology Solutions’ Green Mobility Initiative to enhance operations with environmentally friendly practices and benefits from reduced fuel consumption, improved public image and higher workforce morale. Besides these benefits, companies are facing increasing governmental pressure to control and reduce pollutant emissions, especially Green House Gasses (GHG). In light of this, addressing environmental issues is becoming a reality for most businesses using vehicle fleets. As individual states and local governments enact fleet management-related policies to control emissions, RTS is already prepared - our Service can be tailored to enable fleet operators to take part in or comply with these initiatives. RTS’s clients around the globe are already using our technology to reduce GHG, lower accident rates and operate their businesses more efficiently and cost-effectively.

How does it work?

The Green Mobility Initiative is based on RTS’ advanced Mobile Assets Management technology. Utilizing various RTS solutions, the Green Mobility Initiative helps to preserve the environment through:

Optimized routes

An important step in reducing the fuel consumption since driving less means consuming less fuel. This reduces wear and tear on vehicle components and decreasing the probability of traffic accidents resulting in less potential damage to the environment. By employing RTS’ route optimization capabilities, it is possible to reduce pollution and thus contribute to environment preservation.

Minimized idling

Idling wastes 5% of all fuel in US. including nearly a billion tons of diesel fuel per year. Considering these facts, any reduction in engine idling represents a big step towards environment preservation. Less idling means less fuel consumed which, in turn, means less pollutants released into the air. RTS provides the means to notify field drivers 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 life. With RTS, it is possible to plan your transportation operations and schedule routes that minimize non-revenue mileage.

Optimized fleet size and mix

Ideally, fleet size and vehicle type composition allow a company to keep up with customer requirements and operate simultaneously in a financially and environmentally friendly way. Older vehicles typically have higher fuel consumption levels and therefore pollute more. Replacing these vehicles with new models capable of using alternative fuel types is something every company should consider. RTS provides the tools to determine the break-even point at which maintenance costs and pollutant emissions reach a certain value where it is more sensible to replace the vehicle with a new, cleaner one.

Reduced fuel consumption

RTS enables you to utilize all the means at your disposal for reducing the fuel consumption and preserving the environment. From optimizing routes, fleet size and composition, decreasing idling and non-revenue miles, to improving maintenance and driving styles, RTS enables you to make your business environmentally friendly.

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, without which there can be grave consequences for the environment in cases of dangerous or toxic cargos.

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. These issues lead to lower fuel consumption, better vehicle reliability and greater safety on the road, all having significant environmental implications. RTS provides the means to analyze and correct the driving styles of your drivers.
