With a few simple steps, trucking companies can lower their carbon emissions without fully jumping aboard the electric train. Electric trucks are in our future, but they may not be in everyone’s future and those companies are also looking to help the planet and save money with what they have available.
Fuel efficiency is a very important factor when saving money. There is software out there that keeps track of how fuel is used and helps find ways to reduce it. Mode switching is another good method and involves other methods of shipping which can reduce carbon emissions. Route optimization involves software and calculations on route to find the best possible direction to and from your locations with a full truck both ways.
