Green Telematics - A Simple Solution to Lowering Emissions and Enhancing Fuel Efficiency in Europe and North America, Says Frost & Sullivan
Although emissions from new vehicles have decreased by 13 per cent in the last decade, old cars continue to be heavy polluters. A strategy must therefore be framed that not only focuses on new cars and vehicle technology, but also encompasses the overall reduction of CO2 emission from all vehicles. Green telematics effectively provides a cost-effective and simple solution to this challenge. Fleet companies and consumers alike are increasingly warming to the service since a fuel cost reduction of 10 per cent and an equal measure of CO2 reduction are possible through green telematics services offered as a dedicated product or an add-on service.
