Stagecoach Exceeds Fleet Management Sustainability Goals

For the past decade, one of Stagecoach’s key goals has been to improve the sustainability of its operations, including the significant reduction of its fleet transport CO2 emissions. When it first launched its emissions reduction program, Stagecoach set its target at 3%.

Recognizing the difficulty of achieving such an ambitious aim, Stagecoach turned to GreenRoad to provide needed tools. In addition, it hoped that the use of the GreenRoad Platform would enable it to reduce fuel consumption, decrease vehicle wear and tear, and to enhance passenger comfort and safety.

Stagecoach Group

Stagecoach Group is a Scottish transport group based in Perth, Scotland. It operates buses, express coaches, and tram services in the United Kingdom. It previously had extensive operations in Africa, Asia, mainland Europe, North America, and Oceania. It is listed on the London Stock Exchange.

Stagecoach deployed GreenRoad in its buses across 116 depots and backed it up with a program of training, ongoing monitoring, and an incentive scheme. “Our managers began taking advantage of GreenRoad’s practical tools for identifying and rooting out idling and other fuel-wasting behaviors. This translated into an immediate additional reduction in fuel consumption and carbon emissions, compounded by the savings we began to experience in vehicle wear-and-tear – for example by extending the life of brakes. And passengers were complementing drivers on the smoother rides.”
