While manufacturers have made great strides in reducing tailpipe emissions, other technologies such as telematics and driver training have as much impact on fleet efficiency as the vehicles themselves – it has been demonstrated that a combination of both can improve driver efficiency by as much as 42 per cent.* The provision of a multi-faceted information source for transport and fleet managers is essential to increase environmental and product knowledge, and to assist in making informed decisions on the latest vehicles, fuels and technologies. GreenFleet® occupies this role – it comprises the only magazine and website dedicated to environmental fleet management.

H Alphabet Alphabet is a leading provider of Business Mobility and aims to help customers get employees from A to B as efficiently as possible, providing fleet management and funding products, as well as unique advanced mobility solutions such as AlphaElectric and AlphaCity. Corporate Car Sharing with AlphaCity, the company’s corporate car sharing platform, offers a more sustainable alternative to the challenges of short term hire or occasional journeys.

H Lex Autolease Lex Autolease is the UK’s leading vehicle management and funding specialist, currently managing over 300,000 cars and vans for organisations of all shapes and sizes. By assessing aspects such as sustainability, funding, cost reduction, duty of care and policy, Lex Autolease ensures its fleets run as efficiently as possible. In April, Lex Autolease reached a milestone in adding the 2000th plug-in electric vehicle to its fleet, a Nissan eNV200.

H FleetDrive Fleetdrive have been delivering business vehicle leasing and addedvalue fleet management solutions since 1994. Through consultation with public and private sector organisations, Fleetdrive identified that a significant barrier to businesses adopting EV technology within its fleet is the uncertainty of the practicalities of running EVs. Therefore Fleetdrive created a new EV Flexi-Lease service, enabling organisations to make easily extendable trials of electric vehicles.

H Zenith Leasedrive Group Zenith Leasedrive is a full service leasing provider, offering an innovative carbon ‘offsetting’ service, which runs in partnership with the CarbonNeutral company. The offsetting service allows customers to offset the CO2 emissions of their entire fleet by sponsoring carbon neutral projects around the world. In short, for every tonne of CO2 a vehicle produces, customers can choose to pay for that tonne of CO2 to be saved, providing customers with an innovative way to reduce their CO2 impact.

H Automotive Leasing Automotive Leasing are a wholly-owned subsidiary of LeasePlan UK, with over 550 clients. Automotive Leasing’s GreenPlan project is a program that provides cost efficient ULEV solutions to public sector and not for profit fleets. The programme works by replacing fleets with newer, cleaner substitutes such as hybrid, plug-in hybrid and pure-electric vehicles - to implementing technologies to reduce emissions by decreasing vehicle idling, monitor and manage driver behaviour and provide educational programmes.

For FIAT Professional, protecting the environment isn’t a marketing exercise; it is built into the ethos of the company. The single biggest variable in vehicle efficiency, driver behaviour, is addressed using FIAT’s eco:Drive Professional system which allow drivers to input various parameters such as vehicle load and frontal area so it can suggest the most efficient driving behaviour. eco:Drive Fleet allows fleet managers to monitor their vehicles via an online dashboard, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the fleet, helping managing maintenance schedules and compare its performance according to the overall eco:Index. The vehicles themselves are also constantly improving, with the latest Ducato providing a 10 per cent improvement in economy and emissions compared to its predecessor, while “EcoJet” versions the FIAT Doblo features a range of technologies to improve efficiency including Start&Stop, ecotyres and oils, smart alternators and pumps and new aerodynamic packs. Even more efficiencies, particularly in terms of NOx, will be realised with the introduction of Euro 6. We even consider whole lifespan of the vehicles, designing fourpart bumpers to minimise repair waste, and increasing the overall longevity of vehicles. In the case of the new Ducato’s body, for example, its lifespan is boosted by more than 50 per cent!

LGV Manufacturer of the Year H Mercedes Benz Trucks The Mercedes-Benz Econic features a unique low-entry cab which allows the vehicle to offer operators in busy city centres exactly what they need: efficiency, safety, environmental compatibility and comfort. Specialist tasks are the norm for the Econic – whether used as a refuse collection or recycling vehicle, for inner city distribution or road maintenance, or as a fire appliance, it provides a versatile and easy-to-operate chassis platform. Key to the Econic’s appeal is its innovative low-entry, aluminium space-framed cab, clad with sheet-moulded composite fibre (SMC) panels. The reduced height and low driving position are complemented by a deep, panoramic windscreen which accords the driver an unrivalled field of vision to the front and both sides – a clear advantage when driving through built-up areas, or complex urban environments which are shared by pedestrians and cyclists. As well as meeting Euro VI emissions levels, the diesel engines offered in the Econic range provide the lowest possible fuel consumption resulting in the cleanest of vehicles with the lowest running costs and CO2.

H DAF Trucks DAF Transport Efficiency has new product developments which focus on reducing operating costs. Predictive Cruise Control, Predictive Shifting and Eco Mode add up to fuel saving opportunities of 45 per cent. The Silent Mode option for CF and XF Operating costs are the firm focus for DAF Trucks and DAF Transport Efficiency programme provides an extremely effective weapon in the battle to keep costs down. It also delivers tangible savings by empowering the driver. Specifically for the driver, DAF s Driver Performance Assistant (DPA) is standard across the DAF range. With intuitive controls and a central display on the instrument binnacle, the driver benefits from feedback on fuel consumption and, importantly, levels of anticipation during key driving events, particularly braking. In addition, the central information display provides advice about how to save fuel.

H Volvo Trucks It’s been 40 years since the first truck was sold in the UK. Today Volvo is the second largest producer of heavy trucks, creating reliable transport solutions for clients all over the world.

The Volvo diesel engines are fuel-efficient torque-strong 13- and 16- litre up to an incredible 750 hp, all fulfilling the Euro 6 standard. The fuel economy is increased by aspects such as the vertical, centrally positioned unit injectors, the optimised combustion chamber geometry, the fast and precise EMS- controlled injection and the high gas-fill ratio. The Volvo FH has better road handling stability, thanks to the enhanced geometry and angles of the front parabolic leaf suspensions. Furthermore, the suspension springs are now vertical and can be located a further 25cm apart, enhancing rear cab suspension.

GREENFLEET AWARDS – 22 October 2015

GreenFleet Award for Industry Innovation

PRESENTED BY

H TomTom Telematics TomTom Telematics launched the OptiDrive 360 in March 2015 following extensive research by the EU’s ecoDriver project. Using vehicle and map data to provide fleet drivers with predictive real-time driving advice, OptiDrive 360 enables drivers to anticipate the road ahead to reduce fuel consumption and improve road safety. The groundbreaking development advises drivers when to take their foot off the accelerator on the approach to junctions and roundabout, when to shift gear and what their optimum speed should be. After the trip a snapshot analysis is available to review the trip statistics, with all information displayed via the drivers PRO navigation terminal. OptiDrive 360 scores drivers based on a total of eight performance indicators - speeding, driving events (such as harsh steering or braking), idling, fuel consumption, green speed, coasting (taking your foot off the accelerator while in gear), gear shifting and constant speed.

H Toyota The first Toyota Mirais landed in the UK in early August 2015 and was officially launched in September, with the first few models snapped up primarily by business and corporate customers. The Mirai, which means future in Japenese, stands as Toyota’s first mass-produced hydrogen fuel cell vehicle and has been reported to achieve a range of 312 miles on a single tank of fuel. As well at its UK launch, the Mirai has also been introduced in limited numbers in selected European markets, including Germany and Denmark, following its initial launch in Japan and California. Toyota expects the release of the Mirai to mark the ‘debut of a new age for clean mobility’ and a ‘turning point in the history of the automobile’, building on Toyota’s history with electric drivetrain technology, starting with the Prius 15 years ago.

H Chargemaster Chargemaster has unveiled its new rapid charger which features a host of updates from the previous supercharger, including a large touch screen for better user interface and the capability to send text message alerts to drivers. Unveiled at the LCV2015, the UltraCharger is the only rapid charger to be designed and built in the UK, at the company’s plant in Luton. Chargemaster expects to build 1,000 units in its first full year and will be exporting the UltraCharger globally, with an initial focus on Europe. The Ultracharger’s three cable design will be compatible with all electric vehicles (EVs) on the market and capable of charging up to 50kW. Measuring 120cm(H) x 60cm(W) x60cm(D), the UltraCharger is considerably smaller and lighter than previous rapid chargers on the market, and will accept RFID membership cards, contactless debit or credit cards, as well as automatic number plate recognition to authorise cars that have been logged onto the system.
