Executive Director’ s Report
Mace Hartley Executive Director
Welcome to the June 2025 edition of FleetDrive.
This month, we explore what it really means to build greener fleets. While EVs and hybrids are often the focus for many organisations, many practical and achievable solutions such as route optimisation tools, fuel-saving technologies, and preventive maintenance can make a real difference.
In this issue, we highlight how suppliers and service providers are helping fleets lower emissions and improve efficiency in ways that go beyond vehicle choice. You’ ll find insights into smart fuel management, renewable fuels, carbon offset programs, and more. We also look at how simple steps such as driver training or switching to eco-friendly office supplies can support broader sustainability goals.
No matter the size of your fleet, there is always room to do better. We hope this edition inspires practical changes and new ways to think about sustainability in your day-to-day operations.
