Fuel What Matters

2024 Sustainable Fleet Technology Webinar Series: Key Performance Indicators for Sustainable Fleets
2024-11-20 14:00 - 15:30 UTC | NC
As fleets receive mandates for carbon reduction, there are opportunities to build partnerships with sustainability departments as advocates instead of being perceived as a primary source of emissions. This webinar will review how:

Establishing KPIs can guide fleet management as a sustainability practice and garner support by providing measurable results to an organization’s triple bottom line;

Telematics can align with the KPIs to consolidate the data for in-depth reports and visual dashboards; and

Dashboards provide a quick visual reference to review success or areas for improvement and can be adapted for various audiences and their interests, such as demonstrating carbon reduction for sustainability managers and identifying financial savings for government leadership and elected officials, while empowering managers with more details contributing to operational success.

NCCETC’s Clean Transportation team is co-hosting this event.

2025 Sustainable Fleet Technology Webinar Series: Optimizing At-Home EV Charging: Policy, Reimbursements, and Emissions Savings
2025-05-15 14:00 - 15:30 | NC
ETAs businesses integrate electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) into their fleets, they gain significant financial benefits—from lower maintenance costs to reduced fuel expenses. However, determining fair reimbursement for employees who charge company vehicles at home can be complex. Ensuring equitable policies is essential for maximizing efficiency, minimizing costs, and supporting sustainability goals.
Join us for an informative webinar where we’ll discuss strategies to:

Develop fair and transparent at-home charging reimbursement policies
Ensure employees begin their workday with adequate battery range
Utilize existing infrastructure to cut costs and lower Scope 3 emissions
Increase efficiency by reducing unnecessary trips to fleet locations
Simplify Level 2 charging for fleets of all size

Get insights from real-world case studies on how organizations streamline at-home EV charging approvals and implement direct driver reimbursement to save time and money.
