Good for the planet, good for business.
It used to be fashionable. Now it’s critical. And, for some fleets … compulsory.
CO2 emission reporting lets you track your green fleet initiatives and highlight how your business is taking a proactive approach to saving the planet. And it’s not just great for your reputation; going green means saving green with reductions in out-of-route miles, fuel economy monitoring, improved maintenance scheduling and reduced idling, speeding and wasteful driving, which all add up to a fleet of trucks that have a smaller carbon footprint.
Calculate your CO2 Savings
Carbon emissions
Based on one measure, one gallon of fuel creates almost 20 gallons of CO2. The default values for the idling and MPG fuel savings are calculated from your entries in our Fuel Savings calculators.

Your crew is too valuable to risk.
Sadly, too many operators make the mistake of ignoring safety until it’s too late. Don’t make the same mistake. A serious accident has serious consequences. Downtime, investigations, lost work, tarnished reputation, damaged morale, insurance premiums – it all adds up to a major headache for managers.
Crew Chief™ powered by Telogis® helps you be proactive about safety issues, prompting you to take corrective action before there’s an accident. You’ll be able to monitor reckless driving, such as hard braking, acceleration, swerving, poor safety belt use and speeding. You’ll be alerted to potential mechanical failures, including worn engine oil, low brake fluid, airbag faults or water in the fuel. You’ll also be notified immediately if any of your vehicles are used outside of authorized hours or locations. It all adds up to a safer fleet because Crew Chief knows that prevention is far better than a cure.
