It's Not Easy Going Green

Green is a hot topic in the realm of fleet management with regards to reducing the environmental impact of service vehicles. However, as is the case with most initiatives that do not directly or immediately tie back to improved profitability, adoption levels tend to lag the rhetoric. In Aberdeen's recent survey for this month's benchmark report, Improving Productivity and Profitability through Service Fleet Management, only 9% of respondents indicated that the need to reduce the environmental impact of their vehicles was a key pressure driving fleet management initiatives (Figure 1). In fact, only a third of respondents indicated that they actually have a "green fleet" initiative in place. Submitted by Aberdeen Group
