Third of transport managers unsure how to achieve net zero

New research has revealed that 34% of transport managers do not know how to achieve net zero requirements for their fleets by 2050.

The research, conducted by technology company Microlise, show that only 38.5% of respondents admitted that they knew how to reach the emissions targets, while the remaining respondents said they had an idea but did not know for certain how to reach the target.
 
Postively, all respondents said that sustainability and environmental impact was considered by their company, although it was clear from the research that some organisations are further along with plans than others.
 
Tracking emissions is the first port of call for transport managers looking to address the environmental impact of their fleets. Using technology to examine long-term trends, along with vehicle utilisation and route plan optimisation tools, offers indications of ways in which emissions can be drastically reduced.
 
As well as focusing on the fleet manager’s responsibility for environmental compliance, Microlise’s industry report, which details the research findings, also takes a wider view of the transport or logistics manager’s role in 2025.
 
Microlise CEO, Nadeem Raza, commented: “While the government’s deadline is drawing closer, it is not too late to start the journey to net zero. It is easier than ever to begin analysing your fleet and start seeing where adjustments can be made which can simplify the process for transport managers.”
