According to the Guardian, a substantial number of electric cars should be driving on the British motorways by 2020. Public transport should also become more effective in the future.
Of course, fuelled cars will not disappear completely. However, drivers of these ‘old-fashioned’ cars will have taken eco-driving lessons that enable them to drive more fuel efficiently, and thus be responsible for lower levels of CO2 emission. Also, the maximum speed will be adjusted to a more environmentally friendly limit.
If the UK fails to reduce the CO2 emission, the numbers will rise significantly by 2020. Therefore, it is important that measures are taken right now. These measures can be taken on three different levels. At first, public transport can become more efficient. Making smart choices in this area should be a very good start. Second, private individuals can be encouraged to participate in reducing emissions.
Third, companies should play their part in reducing traffic congestions and CO2 emissions. Since companies are responsible for most traffic on the English roads, their efforts will have an important impact. In order to make that impact, it is important for companies to get an exact overview of their fleet and their use of it. One way of getting insight to the ins and outs of a fleet, is using Ctrack Solo Multi Fleet Management. This application offers a 100% visibility of the fleet, and will help tracking any vehicle at any time of the day. This sophisticated program uses the latest technology to provide any fleet manager with the necessary insights that can help to devise a more efficient way to use a fleet, and thereby cutting costs.
