Optimizing Business Travel
We utilize company fleet vehicles for our service delivery, in addition to rental vehicles. We set a target for fleet vehicle emissions reductions in 2014 and began monitoring rental vehicle emissions in 2015.
In order to reach our 2020 target for reducing fleet vehicle emissions, we are pursuing a five pronged strategy focused on:
> > Tracking appropriate metrics; > > Optimizing fleet vehicle usage; > > Implementing new vehicle replacement guidelines to cycle in more fuel efficient vehicles; > > Promoting best practices to reduce vehicle idling time and encourage efficient driving habits; and > > Ensuring timely vehicle maintenance. kg CO2 / mi

In FY15, TRC committed to procuring new Ford F-150 aluminum bodied trucks. While more expensive upfront than Ford’ s Model Year 2014, or comparable Chevrolet and Dodge vehicles, the new trucks are 700 pounds lighter and get 4-5 mpg better gas mileage, with comparable capacity and safety ratings. As a result, both our carbon footprint and our fuel costs will be reduced in the coming years.
