Amber Cargo is a transport and logistics company operating in Lithuania and Europe. The successful development of its services, continuous investment in its fleet of vehicles and the latest technologies, and a competent team of employees have enabled Amber Cargo to become a reliable partner for every customer.
Amber Cargo has noticed a tendency for customers to be more interested in carriers that try to reduce their CO2 emissions, so to remain competitive, the company had to consider the CO2 emissions. The company was looking for the right solutions in its operational processes to reduce CO2 emissions and save fuel.
After analyzing the company’s needs, Amber Cargo was offered the Fleethand ECO module.
This Fleethand solution analyses all trip data and indicates whether the vehicle is being driven economically. Detailed trip information reveals ECO driving behavior, provides the information needed to reduce fleet fuel consumption and operating costs, improves drivers’ driving skills, and contributes to climate protection and pollution reduction.
With the ECO solution Amber Cargo:
“Amber Cargo is constantly looking for suitable solutions in its operational processes to reduce the amount of CO2 emitted into the environment. Therefore, we were one of the first companies in Lithuania to use Fleethand’s ECO solution. Fleethand’s ECO module contributes to the reduction of CO2 emissions, and the drivers reduce the company’s fuel costs and protect the environment by adopting ECO driving principles in their daily activities. The system has reduced fuel consumption by as much as 7 percent, which is a significant part of the overall cost, and has led to a corresponding reduction in CO2 emissions.
Initially, we faced drivers’ reluctance to engage with the principles of sustainable and economical driving in their daily operations, but good communication and driver motivation quickly showed results. ECO driving and reducing CO2 emissions are an integral part of every company. Every company and person has a responsibility to respect the environment – if someone is not doing it yet, I would advise them to start sooner and to consider the importance of it. We are already seeing a trend towards customers being more interested in transport operators who are making every effort to reduce CO2 emissions – I think this is an integral part of a company’s development plans and of remaining competitive in the market.”
