			<title>Reduce your company’s carbon footprint: track and trace</title>
			<link>http://www.digicore-europe.com/nc/c-track-united-kingdom/nieuws/artikel/archive/2009/31/december/article/reduce-your-companys-carbon-footprint-track-and-trace/</link>
			<description>Even though the summit in Copenhagen has been somewhat of a failure, on a national level countries are still doing their best to reduce their carbon footprint. In many cases, they focus on the individuals, and promise them small savings in return for investing in green technology. </description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="bodytext"><span lang="EN-GB">These actions create awareness amongst consumers, which they in turn project on companies they buy their goods from. ‘Green companies’ are becoming increasingly more attractive to regular consumers. It is therefore important for companies to focus on ‘going green’, and while doing that, reducing their carbon footprint. <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2009/dec/31/carbon-emissions-energy-travel" target="_blank" >The Guardian</a> offers suggestions on how to do this.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></p>
<p class="bodytext"><b><span lang="EN-GB">Set targets</span></b></p>
<p class="bodytext"><span lang="EN-GB">For companies, it is important to set targets. These targets should be mentioned in the strategic plans for this year, along with milestones that should be achieved. In that way, reducing a carbon footprint will become a priority, which employees can work on every day. </span></p>
<p class="bodytext"><b><span lang="EN-GB">Reduce money spent on fleets</span></b></p>
<p class="bodytext"><span lang="EN-GB">Fleets are often responsible for an important part of the company costs. With great fleet management, for example by using the insightful products of <a href="http://www.digicore.co.uk/C-TrackSystem.html" target="_blank" >C-Track</a>, these costs can be reduces. Besides that, in many cases it shows that the current fleet is not nearly as efficient as it could be. The <a href="http://www.digicore.co.uk/C-TrackSystem.html" target="_blank" >C-Track system</a> also helps with increasing this efficiency, productivity and of course the control of a fleet operation. </span></p>
<p class="bodytext"><span lang="EN-GB">Setting targets and reducing the money spent on fleets will help you set foot into the right direction. However, if you are interested in making your company even greener, you can take an overview of your company costs of one year, and fill in the details into <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/interactive/2009/oct/20/guardian-quick-carbon-calculator" target="_blank" >the Guardian’s quick carbon calculator</a>, to calculate where you stand with your company, and to plan your journey to a smaller carbon footprint. </span></p>]]></content:encoded>

			<title>Reduce CO2 emissions, reduce spending and risks</title>
			<link>http://www.digicore-europe.com/nc/c-track-united-kingdom/nieuws/artikel/archive/2009/23/december/article/reduce-co2-emissions-reduce-spending-and-risks/</link>
			<description>Even though the environment seems to be the most important reason to cut back on CO2 emissions, for companies this reason might not be convincing. Of course, many companies are concerned with the environment, but as soon as taking measures requires spending money, they will have to reconsider. </description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="bodytext"><span lang="EN-GB">However, according to <a href="http://www.businessweek.com/managing/content/dec2009/ca20091211_509927.htm" target="_blank" >Businessweek</a>, there are more great reasons to start reducing CO2 emissions – right now!</span></p>
<p class="bodytext"><span lang="EN-GB">Reducing CO2 emissions will save companies money immediately. Take for example your fleet: how much of the total costs of this fleet are spent on fuel? Or what about the energy bill: what do you think will happen if you actually shut down all appliances that are not needed at a certain period of time? Saving energy equals saving money, and this can be done at this very moment. </span></p>
<p class="bodytext"><span lang="EN-GB">Besides the immediate money saving aspect, reducing CO2 emissions will also save money in the future. Many of the more expensive measures that can be taken to help your company ‘going green’, are rather expensive. Therefore, the government offers all kinds of subsidies, which makes them more affordable, and keeps your costs lower. Investing in green technologies will also help reducing your risks, since you are not – solely – depending on resources such as oil and gas. </span></p>
<p class="bodytext"><span lang="EN-GB">Any company interested in saving money and ‘going green’, should start with their greatest source of CO2 emissions, which is often the company fleet. With for example <a href="http://www.digicore.co.uk/FleetReporting.html" target="_blank" >C-Track Fleet Reporting</a>, one can create a great overview of the usage of this fleet. Driving and idling times, jobs per day, fuel usage and mileage: all important factors are included in this reporting package. Are you ready to convert your analysis into real action? Please consult C-Track for learning more about the <a href="http://www.digicore.co.uk/GreenDividend.html" target="_blank" >Green Dividend</a>!</span></p>]]></content:encoded>

			<title>China promotes green vehicles with subsidies</title>
			<link>http://www.digicore-europe.com/nc/c-track-united-kingdom/nieuws/artikel/archive/2009/21/december/article/china-promotes-green-vehicles-with-subsidies/</link>
			<description>The Chinese government in its bid to promote environmental friendly vehicles will go for subsidisation in the sales of green vehicles, states Reuters UK. This comes as no surprise since China has been trying to do its bit for cut in fuel emissions. </description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="bodytext"><span lang="EN-GB">The main reason for subsidising sales of green vehicles is to step up efforts towards promotion and usage of environmentally friendly transportation modes within the country. The main government website of China has come out with the option of providing rebates to buyers who purchase these green vehicles for the first time, states <a href="http://uk.reuters.com/article/idUKTRE5BA26X20091211" target="_blank" >Reuters UK</a>. </span></p>
<p class="bodytext"><span lang="EN-GB">The trial scheme for these vehicles was first inaugurated in February 2009. Public transport operators and taxi firms will benefit in a big way by making use of these green vehicles. The subsidy will vary on the type of green vehicle to be used by the consumer. There will be a significant difference in the subsidy offered for normal four wheeler vehicles to that off large commercial buses powered in the best possible way using fuel cells. </span></p>
<p class="bodytext"><span lang="EN-GB">To support this environmental friendly move many different Chinese automakers have come up with the plan to develop their own versions of these green vehicles to be sold in China. However, there are certain difficulties that this industry might face due to infancy in manufacturing of green vehicles. Only possibility for the growth of ‘green’ vehicle industry is through effective government support and industry interactions. </span></p>
<p class="bodytext"><span lang="EN-GB">However, no further details regarding the exact nature of operational possibilities and purchasing options for these green vehicles has been provided. Beijing is also looking forward to expand this scheme in the future to accommodate the possibility of more people from the country buying these vehicles. These clean energy vehicles will be made part of the transportation fleets in major cities across China. Once these vehicles become part of various organisations in the country, it would need the assistance of an effective tracking device for fleet control. <a href="http://www.digicore.co.uk/index.html" target="_blank" >C-Track</a> offers the best tracking device for these ‘green’ fleets. </span></p>
<p class="bodytext"><span lang="EN-GB">Therefore, organisations should look at managing their ‘green’ fleets using <a href="http://www.digicore.co.uk/C-TrackSystem.html" target="_blank" >C-Track tracking devices</a>. The best thing about this is the lethal combination of advanced vehicle tracking system with the user-friendly nature of this device. It takes care of everything starting from unwanted vehicle breakdown to operational requirements for the organisation. C-Track offers straightforward and efficient way to manage ‘green’ fleet for the organisation.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></p>]]></content:encoded>

			<title>Study offers strategic advice on vehicle tracking</title>
			<link>http://www.digicore-europe.com/nc/c-track-united-kingdom/nieuws/artikel/archive/2009/16/december/article/study-offers-strategic-advice-on-vehicle-tracking/</link>
			<description>Stolen vehicles are a major problem in Britain. Cars are stolen on a daily basis and in many cases, they will never be found by the police or their righteous owner. Therefore, vehicle tracking systems are very popular. These will reduce the risk of vehicles being stolen, while at the same time increase the chances of a stolen vehicle being retrieved. </description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="bodytext"><span lang="EN-GB">According to <a href="http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/show/research-and-markets-2009-study,1086354.shtml" target="_blank" >Earth Times</a>, many studies are conducted when it comes to vehicle tracking and insurance, in order to get more insight into the problems and to come up with recommendations. </span></p>
<p class="bodytext"><span lang="EN-GB">If you are considering buying a vehicle tracking system, for example for your company fleet, it is important to investigate the possibilities your insurance company offers for vehicle tracking. In some cases, insurance companies offer discounts on insurances for cars with vehicle tracking systems. If that is the case for your insurance company, if it important to meet all the necessary requirements, in order to qualify for the best discount possible. This can save a lot of money, on a monthly basis. </span></p>
<p class="bodytext"><span lang="EN-GB">Besides the consequences for insurance, also the quality of the vehicle tracking system is very important. What are the possibilities of the system? Can it be used in the UK only, or is it also of use when a stolen vehicle is transported to Europe or maybe even the United States?</span></p>
<p class="bodytext"><span lang="EN-GB">These and all other questions can be answered by <a href="http://www.digicore.co.uk/C-TrackSystem.html" target="_blank" >C-Track</a>. C-Track offers top-notch solutions when it comes to vehicle tracking. All C-Track products are made to measure, setup by specialists, in order to provide the best results possible. </span></p>]]></content:encoded>

			<title>The Green Dividend</title>
			<link>http://www.digicore-europe.com/nc/c-track-united-kingdom/nieuws/artikel/archive/2009/14/december/article/the-green-dividend/</link>
			<description>The COP15 Eco-Rally was organised for low emission vehicles on eighth of December 2009 in London with the get together of a small group of “green” vehicles headed for destination Copenhagen in a bid to make the necessary point concerning emission control in the Climate change summit. </description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="bodytext"><span lang="EN-GB"><a href="http://www.easier.com/63382-low-emissions-vehicles-complete-cop15-eco-rally.html" target="_blank" >Easier.com</a> notes that these vehicles were manufactured with the aim of achieving emission control with the support from organisations such as Revolve Technologies (Hydrogen), Organic Power (Bio Methane), and Honda (Insight- hybrid) type of vehicles. </span></p>
<p class="bodytext"><span lang="EN-GB">The logic behind this move was to present the fact that it is possible to travel long distances in these ‘green’ vehicles. However, the journey presented certain challenges in itself. Without allowing that to affect the main purpose of the rally these ‘green’ vehicles were on track for demonstrating effective emission control for the future. The main aim of all these mini rallies organised in various parts of the world was to highlight sustainable transport for the future in action. The main reason for controlling transportation is that 47% carbon emission every year is due to transportation alone. </span></p>
<p class="bodytext"><span lang="EN-GB">Therefore, in order to contribute towards climate change control there is a need to send out strong messages by using these automotive wonders. The main reason that organisations should employ these green fleets is to ensure lower transportation costs and reduction in unwanted vehicle emission. These ‘green’ vehicles will also offer an improvement in the corporate social reputation of the organisation while doing its bit to prevent climate change. </span></p>
<p class="bodytext"><span lang="EN-GB"><a href="http://www.digicore.co.uk/index.html" target="_blank" >C-Track</a> provides improved vehicle tracking facility for your green fleet that will allow better visibility and control. Not only will you be able to save costs using these ‘green’ vehicles but will also be able to manage your green fleet so that there is an increase in productivity for the organisation. All this is possible with the use of C-Track tracking system that helps in tracking vehicles thereby helping the environment along with increase in organisational efficiency. </span></p>
<p class="bodytext"><span lang="EN-GB">Fuel costs have become a big challenge for organisations particularly when dealing with large fleet of vehicles. The <a href="http://www.digicore.co.uk/GreenDividend.html" target="_blank" >C-Track vehicle tracking system</a> will play a crucial role in achieving 12% savings on the organisational fleet bill. Along with fuel efficiency and savings from the green fleet there is a possibility to save costs through improved driving and reduced mileage. All this is possible with the use of C-Track vehicle tracking system. </span></p>]]></content:encoded>
