Commercial Fleet

Fleet vehicles account for 25% of vehicular emissions in urban areas, yet they represent less than 12% of total kilometres driven, and spend approximately 50% of their yearly operating costs on fuel and oil*. In North America, these vehicles are subject to regulatory standards set out by the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and Corporate Average Fleet Emissions (“CAFE”), which require that most mini vans, pickup trucks, SUV’s and midsize vans up to 8,500 lbs. gross vehicle weight (“GVW”), reduce emissions to passenger car levels by 2007. In addition, diesel engines will have to meet the same emissions levels. Business leaders increasingly understand that good environmental management is also good business. By proactively and ethically managing their impact on society and the environment, they can enhance their reputations and ultimately, their financial viability. With significant reductions in emissions, increased fuel efficiency and significantly lower operating and maintenance costs, we offer a unique value proposition to these customers.
