Strategic decisions around supply chain sustainability are complicated by uncertainties of cost, complexity, certification and regulation. Companies are looking for hedging opportunities to steadily reduce fuel consumption and emissions without heavy investment in vehicles, cleaner fuels, workforce or technology.

That spells opportunity for dedicated fleet solutions that advise shippers in building a sustainability plan, the right fleet, fuel and software optimization tools to implement it, and proven systems in place to measure, report and certify results. This will be especially important as data collection mandates ratchet up to include emissions from energy providers and suppliers. 

Trillions in investments to date by industry and government suggest that, while there may be political hiccups on the way, climate change and related business costs are real, so the impetus for greenhouse gas reduction isn’t going away anytime soon.

Dedicated fleet models offer assured, flexible capacity and roundtrip control for the shipper, without the upfront asset or technology investment risks. Fleet providers offer support services from network optimization to demand forecasting to driver management.

Emissions reduction through cleaner trucks and more efficient performance is low-hanging fruit that delivers direct, fast cost and environmental benefits. Join the conversation with dedicated fleet provider TA Dedicated to learn more.
