The carbon footprint
The carbon footprint is the indicator that measures the contribution of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from a specific activity. When we seek to reduce this value, we contribute to global actions against climate change and its effects.
Our company, Transportes SebastiaTico S.L, can implement effective measures at no cost or at a very low cost. Below we mention some of them that are already being implemented or are being studied to implement in the coming years.
Choose vehicles according to their energy rating
The more efficient a vehicle is in fuel consumption, in addition to reducing costs for this reason, CO2 emissions are also reduced.
Consider the use of vehicles that use alternative fuels
Gas combustion vehicles generate 25% less emissions than gasoline vehicles, and 9% less than diesel vehicles.
Use vehicles with the appropriate size for transportation needs
The larger the vehicle, the more fuel consumption it has. The dimensions of this must be chosen based on the route and the amount of merchandise to be transported.
Plan routes
Evaluate routes to choose the shortest routes and those that offer the least interruptions.
Sometimes a longer route is more convenient. Optimizing the time that the vehicle will remain on the roads helps reduce the carbon footprint due to fuel consumption.
Include efficient driving courses in the training program
Training and raising awareness among drivers about the principles of efficient driving can help reduce fuel consumption by around 15%, which represents savings in operating costs and a considerable reduction in CO2 emissions.
Preventive and routine maintenance
Scheduled preventive maintenance and periodic checking of tire air pressure is essential to ensure efficient fuel consumption.
