Vehicle movement specialist Engineius has passed a pivotal milestone, saving fleets over 10 million tonnes in CO2 emissions since the firm launched in 2018.

Engineius was founded to make vehicle movement easy but to also adopt best practices and raise industry standards

The landmark achievement is down to not using ‘chaser’ vehicles for vehicle movements – which is one of the firm’s greener practices helping to support fleet customers towards their own carbon-neutral goals.

Prior to launching its business, Engineius – which will be at this year’s Great British Fleet Event – carried out research with a major utility business and found using chaser vehicles resulted in 24 miles driven for every 10 miles required.

Right from its inception, Engineius has adopted a different approach for moving drivers between pick-up and drop-off sites. Its multi-award-winning platform intelligently joins suitable movements together where possible, thus reducing empty legs. Where this is not possible, drivers use public transport to travel between locations.

Chris Clibbery, CEO and founder of Engineius, said: “Our vision was to make vehicle movement easy but to also adopt best practices and raise industry standards. Engineius provides vehicle movement for customers from all automotive sectors, who benefit from each other through the scale and diversity of their vehicle movements along with geographical locations.

“Fuel savings, alongside labour and operational costs, are also achieved by not using chaser vehicles. Imagine paying for 240 miles of fuel on a 100-mile movement!”

Engineius believes it has the greenest credentials in the vehicle movement arena and endeavours to make smart environmental choices.

Its team drive rather than transport EVs; as transporting them would be diametrically opposed to the environmental cause.

Engineius also pays annually to carbon offset its own business through Climate Partner – currently supporting renewable energy projects in Asia.

Clibbery concluded: “Carbon reduction isn’t all about electrification, and small wins matter in the road to net zero – though we are proud to say a saving of over 10 million tonnes of CO2 is actually a big win for the environment!”
