WEBINAR: REDUCING THE CARBON FOOTPRINT ON YOUR LEGACY FLEET
View webinar presentation
Many fleets still rely on conventionally fueled vehicles and in today’s age, reducing the impact on the environment continues to be on the forefront for many organizations. There are also many challenges with conventional fuels.
Alternative and advance technologies are not always feasible for all fleets. Whether it is budget constraints, lack of infrastructure, or fuel availability, fleets can still employ strategies to lower their carbon footprint while using conventionally powered vehicles. There are many options and strategies available to fleet managers. We will share insights and tactics on how to “green” the conventional fleet.
