Geotab says unique new changes in the Australian industry must continue to occur to lower carbon emissions in the transport industry
In its 2022 sustainability and impact report, technology company Geotab has released ways the company is using data intelligence to drive success in the carbon reduction journey.
The global connected transport solutions company released its import, titled ‘Unlocking the power of data for a sustainable future’, that delves into the ways data awareness is helping lower environmental impacts in the bus and coach world.
Geotab says the report includes examples of how organisations in the transport sector are maintaining carbon reduction initiatives using data intelligence to inform decision-making, something Geotab says is critical in Australia to address emissions issues.
“The transportation sector has one of the biggest global opportunities to truly impact the climate crisis. At Geotab, we are learning from our own efforts and feel privileged to share this knowledge, supporting our customers and partners with their sustainability goals through connected transportation solutions and data insights,” Geotab CEO and founder Neil Cawse says.
“This report demonstrates our commitment to continuously improving our sustainability practices to make a positive impact on the planet.”
With more than 3.2 million connected vehicles globally, Geotab can help accelerate the decarbonisation in the transport sector with its full suite of data-driven tools.
Geotab says Australia needs all sectors to play its part to meet increased emissions reductions targets by 2030 and the eventual net zero goal by 2050.
A limited supply of light and heavy electric vehicles means unique ideas must be considered, such as shutting down Telstra’s 3G network to add value to overall fleets.
“Australian fleets are currently lagging behind their global peers in their decarbonisation efforts,” Geotab vice president Sean Killen says.
However, this is expected to change due to the impending shutdown of Telstra’s 3G network in 2024.”
