Fleet operators are under increasing pressure to reduce their environmental impact while continuing to meet demanding service expectations.
The New Vehicle Efficiency Standard (NVES) law helps Australia match global efforts to reduce carbon emissions. It also promotes the use of fuel-efficient and zero-emission vehicles.
But how prepared is your operation to adapt?
Green fleet solutions provide a clear path forward - reducing emissions, cutting costs, and enhancing brand reputation.
However, real impact requires more than new vehicles, it is also about using technology to unlock cost-effective operations.
Here is how we help businesses turn ESG goals from a challenge into a competitive advantage.
What is the importance of green fleet solutions?
In Australia, transport contributes to 22% of global CO₂ emissions, with road freight playing a major role. But emissions are just one part of the equation.
Fleets are also contending with:
- Rising fuel and maintenance costs
- Increasing regulatory pressure
- ESG expectations from customers, boards, and investors
Fortunately, green fleet solutions offer a way forward. With the right strategy, you can reduce emissions, improve efficiency, and save money - without sacrificing performance.
What green fleet solutions can deliver
We help organisations transition to greener, more efficient fleets using a combination of technologies and deep industry experience. Our solutions help businesses:
Reduce Emissions with Smarter Route Planning
As last mile deliveries increase over time, it is essential to optimise your fleet’s routes to save time, costs, and emissions.
We implement advanced route optimisation to cut unnecessary kilometers, reduce idle time, and streamline delivery schedules. This reduces your fleet’s carbon footprint while improving on-time performance and operational reliability.
Improve Fuel Efficiency Through Telematics and Monitoring
Using real-time telematics, we give customers real-time insight into their fleet’s performance. This includes:
- Tracking fuel use and idle time
- Monitoring driver’s behaviour (harsh braking, acceleration, speeding)
- Measuring route efficiency in practice
Fleet Telematics help teams make smarter decisions, coach drivers toward fuel-efficient habits, and reduce wear and tear on vehicles - all of which contribute to sustainability.
Lower Operational Costs with Better Fleet Management
Bestrane helps reduce fuel costs, maintenance, and downtime by maximising fleet use and cutting empty kilometres.
With our Delivery and Driver Execution solution, you get real-time visibility into every delivery. This allows teams to make faster decisions, avoid delays, and manage issues as they happen.
Features like route tracking, proof of delivery, and live updates give you full control over daily operations - helping reduce failed deliveries, improve driver productivity, and lower operational costs.
Real Results: PlaceMakers Case Study
PlaceMakers, New Zealand’s leading building materials supplier, used Bestrane and Descartes route optimisation technology to transform its 63-branch delivery network. Results included:
- 40–50% increase in delivery satisfaction
- 13% improvement in load utilisation
- 14% faster loading times
- 16% fewer inbound customer calls
By optimising routes and improving fleet utilisation, PlaceMakers not only reduced operational costs but also lowered its emissions footprint - without expanding the fleet or sacrificing service.
Future-Proof Your Fleet
Whether you are managing a mixed fleet, outsourced carriers, or long-term growth, our solutions provide flexibility and scalability.
Sustainability is no longer optional. As investors, partners, and regulators demand more accountability, companies with low-emission fleets will grow and succeed.
