Fleet Vehicles
Managing greenhouse gases in passenger, delivery and freight fleets
Corporate fleets are significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions. Yet there are also significant opportunities to reduce these emissions – while reducing operating costs.
EDF offers a proven five-step framework to reduce fleet emissions and costs, and a variety of other tools and resources.

- Measure emissions and set goals
- Improve vehicle selection
- Improve vehicle use
- Consider carbon offsets
- Report progress
Hybrid Trucks
Truck fleets can consider incorporating hybrid trucks to reduce emissions and fuel costs by 30-50 percent.
There are over 35 makes and models commercially available, and many incentives to help bring down the cost of this new technology.
Calculate Your Fleet Emissions
Our greenhouse gas emissions calculator will help you create a baseline, set emissions goals and track progress.
Fuel-Smart Training
The way a vehicle is driven has a significant impact on its fuel economy. Use these free resources and our online training module to teach drivers about fuel efficient practices.

In 2006, we partnered with PHH Arval, a leading fleet management company, to develop and test the framework. Today, all of the major fleet management companies offer "green" services, and more than 100,000 corporate vehicles have benefited.
In 2000, we partnered with FedEx to develop a delivery truck that polluted less and performed as well as or better than conventional diesel trucks. As a result of this partnership, the first commercially available medium-duty hybrid trucks hit the road in 2005. Today, there are almost 2000 of these cleaner vehicles on the road in over 115 fleets.
