Decarbon Tool Helps Reduce Fleet Emissions
Responsible driving is an important value for many businesses. The transition to zero emissions and electrifying the fleet requires careful planning. The Decarbon Tool developed by Secto helps by modeling the impact of changes on CO2 emissions and total cost of ownership (TCO).
The Decarbon Tool provides insight into current fleet emissions and TCO costs
With a clear knowledge of current standing, it models how transitioning to a lower-emission fleet can be achieved, car by car, replacing existing cars with electric ones as leases expire. The tool shows how overall emissions will decrease and how lease costs and operating expenses will change during the transition from combustion engine and gasoline cars. This modelling can be performed even without the company’s fleet being part of Secto.
When calculating the total costs of the car fleet, the Decarbon Tool takes into account the different ways of handling the car benefits in accordance with the company's car benefit policy. The model shows, among other things, the effects on the total costs of driving, as well whether the employee can enjoy company car benefit, while it is expected that 10% of the driving amount will be charged as mileage allowances. In addition to company cars, the tool also models the emissions and costs of production cars.
Secto customers have found the tool effective and easy to use. Once data is entered, a clear graphical summary of key variables is displayed over the desired timeline. Keep in mind, the Decarbon Tool is not a real-time fleet management system like Fleet Manager. Instead, it offers the best possible simulation based on available data, supporting decision-making for fleet transition.
