UK fleet management software supplier cfc solutions says it has cut the carbon footprint of its own car fleet by 27% in the last 12 months, although its fleet of 22 cars has increased by three. Measures taken include reducing the number of face-to-face training and presentation sessions in favour of Webex online video conferencing, more car-sharing when staff are undertaking similar routes at similar times, and better journey planning.

The reduction has been measured using cfc's own CO2 Report Generator, a new feature added earlier this year to the company's FleetPlus fleet management software. Using manufacturer CO2 figures for each vehicle, the software calculates the carbon footprint figures based on information recorded about journeys and vehicle use. The tool can be set up to suggest where alternative forms of transport such as the train or other public transport may result in a lower carbon output than using a company vehicle for a specific journey.
