Transportation remains one of the most polluting sectors of greenhouse gas emissions, including carbon dioxide. Every fleet therefore has a responsibility to minimize its carbon footprint and contribute to a sustainable future - thankfully, even making just minor adjustments can yield significant environmental benefits for your fleet.

Lightfoot makes it easy to accelerate the transition to a greener fleet by helping you transform driver behavior. Through real-time feedback delivered by Lightfoot's in-cab coaching device, aggressive driving habits — such as rapid acceleration, harsh braking, and excessive speeding — are replaced with smoother, more efficient driving practices. This leads to a reduction in fuel consumption, resulting in a 15% decrease in CO₂ emissions. Furthermore, Lightfoot helps eliminate unnecessary engine idling by issuing timed alerts, increasing driver awareness and prompting them to switch off the engine whenever feasible, thereby preventing avoidable vehicle emissions.

While exhaust emissions like CO₂ and NOx are significant factors in assessing your fleet's environmental impact, it's essential to also consider non-exhaust emissions, which stem from typical vehicle wear and tear including brake and tire degradation. The increase in harmful particulate matter from tires poses a growing concern, affecting both ICE vehicles and EVs alike.

Minimizing daily vehicle wear and tear is crucial in operating a sustainable fleet, and Lightfoot's groundbreaking technology plays a pivotal role in this. By promoting smoother, safer driving behaviors, Lightfoot has been proven to reduce wear and tear by 45%. This not only lessens the release of unnecessary harmful particulates but also helps to prolong a typical vehicle's lifespan, bringing further positive environmental outcomes.
