Sustainable fleet management is based on fleet management principles that reduce your fleet’s carbon footprint by choosing more environmentally friendly vehicles and improving fuel efficiency. A sustainable fleet management strategy will guide you on which sustainable vehicles to introduce into your fleet and how to reduce emissions from your existing gas and diesel vehicles.
The Government of Canada will require 100% of car and passenger truck sales be zero-emission by 2035 in Canada.
The cornerstones of an effective, sustainable fleet management strategy are to:
- identify inefficient vehicles and either replace them with cleaner alternatives or remove them from your fleet.
- optimize routes using telematics to reduce kilometres travelled.
- increase fuel efficiency by acquiring low-consumption vehicles, keeping up with preventative maintenance schedules, implementing driver training, and reducing idling.

A fleet management company can work with you to identify the areas that will most impact your organization.
In addition to the sustainable fleet options discussed already, you can begin transitioning to intermediary vehicles. Start by replacing your standard internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles with hybrid ICE vehicles. This will allow you to use a similar vehicle as you've been using historically, but it will consume less fuel. Plug-in hybrid vehicles are another option. They combine the features of an electric vehicle and a hybrid ICE vehicle to further reduce your fleet’s fuel consumption. These vehicles have an immediate effect on reducing your carbon footprint.
Once suitable battery electric vehicles are available for your end use, you can then begin transitioning to them. Moving from internal combustion engine vehicles to all-electric vehicles is a multi-year strategy.
At Foss National Leasing, we’ll follow our four-phased approach to help you transition your fleet to electric vehicles.
- Assess - a preliminary examination of the feasibility of converting your vehicles from internal combustion engines to electric. We rely on the first party data, which we collect within our electric vehicles pilot program.
- Design - a more comprehensive and detailed examination, driver surveys, and the creation of your implementation plan
- Implement - execution of your plan
- Manage - review assumptions, confirm goals, and monitor performance
