Geotab® Unveils New Sustainability Solutions for Fleets

Published

on

Data-driven insights to cut costs, improve performance and ensure compliance.

MILAN, Oct. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Responding to the complex challenge of climate change in the transportation sector, a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, Geotab Inc. (“Geotab”) announced at Mobility Connect in Milan today, a comprehensive suite of data-driven sustainability solutions to address decarbonisation, cost management and opportunities to improve performance, including a Greenhouse Gas Emissions Report.

“Climate change is an urgent challenge, and at Geotab, we know you can’t manage what you don’t measure. Geotab’s sustainable fleet solutions empower fleets with precise data insights to track their emissions, fuel use, manage EV charging, reporting and compliance, and set targets for the future,” said Edward Kulperger, Senior Vice President, Europe at Geotab. “As the transportation industry evolves and requirements change, Geotab is developing the tools and solutions needed for compliance and business growth.”

Solutions integrated in the MyGeotab® platform announced today include:

Geotab Sustainability Center — Optimising Fuel, Energy Savings and Performance

The Geotab Sustainability Center provides actionable insights and pinpoints opportunities for emissions reduction to support fuel and energy savings and performance optimisation. Integrated in MyGeotab, the Sustainability Center empowers fleets to track fleet emissions and the potential to reduce them using idling reduction and electrification, monitor avoided tailpipe emissions, emissions generated, and fuel economy, identify emission reduction opportunities and explore electrification options.

Gas Emissions Calculation Method — Supporting transparent, accurate reporting

Over 50,000 European companies and 10,000 international companies will need to submit sustainability disclosures based on the CSRD mandate. Having access to accurate and reliable data is critical to the disclosure and compliance process.

Geotab’s Greenhouse Gas Emissions Report provides a reliable method of tracking greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from fleet vehicles, automating the calculation of carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2-eq). TÜV Rheinland has certified the CO2 calculation method of the Geotab Greenhouse Gas Report for measuring Scope 1 GHG vehicle emissions.1 Using telematics, companies can obtain precise, near real-time data on vehicle emissions, avoiding the uncertainty of manual data collection and the potential for human error.

The report supports compliance with CSRD’s regulatory framework (ESRS E1). To simplify the compliance process, reports can be generated to align with common ESG reporting frameworks such as CDP and Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

Certification covers greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles related to mobile combustion, not refrigerant leakage.

Electric Vehicle Suitability Assessment (EVSA) — Electrification tool enhancements

Adopting electric vehicles can be a complex decision for fleets. The Geotab EVSA helps fleets build a business case for electrification by providing a clear picture of environmental and financial impacts based on real-world data. The latest version includes Automatic Vehicle Type Detection to streamline vehicle selection and comparison.

The Geotab EVSA creates a customised fleet electrification blueprint that determines EV suitability replacement, considering performance needs, vehicle model/make preference, and charging availability. This innovative tool, recognised with the Sustainability Product of the Year award and the 2024 SEAL Business Sustainability Award, empowers fleets to make informed decisions about electrifying their operations.

EV Charge Monitoring — EVs ready when needed

Scaling up EVs, and multiplying the positive impacts of decarbonisation, requires robust charging management tools and quality data. With EV Charge Monitoring from Geotab, fleets can get a comprehensive overview of the charge status of their EVs with alerts functionality to ensure fleet EVs are charged and ready to go when needed. Optimising charging is essential to improving utilisation and realising the fuel cost saving and operational benefits of electrification. 

A new Geotab survey on fleet perspectives in the EU, found that the majority of fleet managers believe their organisation will meet emission targets on time (44.5%) or even ahead of deadline (31%). However, when adopting telematics, CO2 emissions data was among the least considered metrics (29%) among respondents. With these new sustainability solutions, fleets can prioritise their sustainability efforts to ensure that money and time is spent in the areas which will have the most impact towards achieving goals.

Fleets in Europe with OEM-embedded telematics can also leverage powerful sustainability solutions, thanks to Geotab’s strong partnerships with a large number of leading automotive manufacturers, most recently Volkswagen Group Info Services AG fleet vehicles and also Stellantis. Data from OEM vehicle-embedded telematics devices is accessible from MyGeotab.

Delta Air Lines to sponsor Play Yellow Sunday, celebrating local patient families and supporting Dell Children’s Medical Center through Children’s Miracle Network

AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Play Yellow, a fundraising program of Children’s Miracle Network (CMN), is excited to be part of the inaugural Austin Championship presented by Compliance Solutions, bringing its mission of supporting children’s healthcare to the course and the local community. Proceeds from the tournament will benefit Play Yellow and provide significant support to the local children’s hospital, Dell Children’s Medical Center, and the surrounding community.

Play Yellow unites the golf community to support children’s healthcare across the U.S. and Canada. Founded through a partnership between Jack and Barbara Nicklaus, Children’s Miracle Network and the PGA Tour, Play Yellow invites golfers, tournaments and fans to turn their passion for the game into life-changing care.

“Our partnership with the PGA Tour and events like the Austin Championship presented by Compliance Solutions reminds us what’s possible when a community comes together for kids,” said Becca Evans, National Director of Play Yellow, Children’s Miracle Network. “We’re grateful for every golfer, fan, and partner who helps make big change for all kids.”

Delta Air Lines Sponsors Play Yellow Sunday

Delta Air Lines is sponsoring Play Yellow Sunday. By wearing yellow and fundraising through golf, the Play Yellow community elevates the level of care at local children’s hospitals.

Ten patient families will join Children’s Miracle Network on the course, wearing caddie bibs featuring the Delta Air Lines logo. Some children will have the opportunity to walk a hole alongside a PGA Tour professional, while others will join the action by helping as honorary caddies on the 18th green. Among the participating children is Jett Payne, the local Children’s Miracle Network champion.

After a difficult delivery, Jett began experiencing seizures and was transferred to Dell Children’s Medical Center, where an MRI revealed multiple strokes that likely occurred before or during birth. He spent 12 days in the Neuro-NICU, where specialized care helped stabilize his seizures and support his recovery. Today, Jett is a thriving 2-year-old who is walking, talking, and exceeding milestones. He will be joined by his parents, Ryann and Brad Payne, and his brother, Briggs, age 9.

Supporting Dell Children’s Medical Center

Dell Children’s, a hospital within Children’s Miracle Network, has partnered with CMN for nearly 40 years. Since opening in 2007, Dell Children’s Medical Center has served as Central Texas’s only freestanding pediatric Level I trauma center, bringing world-class children’s healthcare to families in their own community. From pediatric heart and bone marrow transplants to expanding access to pediatric mental health care, Dell Children’s continues to advance what’s possible for children across Central Texas.

“Every day at Dell Children’s, we see the difference that access to specialized pediatric care makes in the lives of children and their families,” said Megan Campuzano, Senior Director, Annual Giving, Dell Children’s Medical Center. “The generosity of our community supports that care, allowing us to expand what we can do for children across Central Texas. We are grateful to Play Yellow, Children’s Miracle Network, the PGA Tour, and every supporter making this event a reality. It is meaningful to see our patient families recognized on such a special stage and to have our community unite behind a brighter future for all kids.”

Play Yellow Ambassadors Lead the Way

Helping bring the CMN mission to life on the course, Play Yellow’s ambassadors Patrick Fishburn, Hank Lebioda, Justin Lower, Kevin Roy, Max McGreevy, Peter Malnati, and Neal Shipley will also take the course in Austin, continuing to use their platforms to rally golfers, fans, sponsors, and communities around the shared mission of supporting children’s healthcare.
