Aided by Samsara’s Connected Operations Cloud, the vehicle operator has proved a cut in CO2 emissions of 50,000 tonnes in just 12 months, reinforcing its work on sustainability.

Using the technology, Otto can access accurate, real-time data from its 5,600 vehicles – including 4,000 electric vehicles – which are used by rideshare drivers to move more than 75,000 people across London every day.

These critical insights are enabling Otto to minimise the environmental impact of its fleet by providing data on the battery level and degradation rate for every vehicle, the number of driver miles and hours spent on the road and the best routes to shorten journeys and minimise idling.

Gurinder Dhillon, founder of Otto Car, said: “We’re not going to wait for the future to come to us, we’re going to lean into it, and Samsara’s technology is helping us achieve that goal. Samsara’s technology has played a crucial role in monitoring and optimising our fleet’s performance, contributing to the success of our sustainability initiatives.”

Philip van der Wilt, SVP and GM EMEA at Samsara, stated: “Otto Car is showcasing how, through the Samsara Connected Operations Cloud, fleet-based businesses can deliver on their sustainability mission while improving efficiency.

“Visibility of its entire fleet has been crucial in capturing the data Otto Car needs to prove the positive impact its sustainability strategy is making.”
