The environmental challenge

Companies that use cars and trucks for service, sales and delivery face a special challenge in balancing the need for operational efficiency with protecting the environment. For many companies, finding this balance has become increasingly difficult.

GE's innovative solution

GE helps companies strengthen environmental and operating performance by mapping tailored strategies for the cars and trucks they use for service, sales, and delivery. Through our strategic analysis and reporting, customized vehicle selection and integrated vehicle efficiency tools, our customers both reduce operating costs and improve their CO2 emissions profile.

Environmental impact

GE's environmental performance roadmap reduces fuel consumption, which reduces CO2 emissions. For each gallon of gasoline burned during vehicle operation, approximately 20 pounds of CO2 are released into the atmosphere. Reducing fuel consumption leads directly to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

Cutting costs

Fuel consumption reduction has a direct cost-savings impact. Lower fuel consumption results in lower cost. GE estimates that customers can save as much as 240 gallons of gasoline, or about US$ 690, per vehicle each year through our telematics services, improving the average fuel economy of a mixed vehicle fleet by 8 percent.

GE's truck engineering specialists can help identify fuel-saving technologies for truck fleets. For example, auxiliary power units (APUs) reduce gasoline burn by about 75 percent when a truck is idling — a fuel savings of approximately US$ 3,000 per vehicle each year.
