Accelerate your fleet’s decarbonisation journey with us
While many fleets share the same end goal of reaching net-zero emissions, every journey is likely to be different. Fleet operators also need to find ways to balance operational efficiency to meet demand with the need to decarbonise. Shell Fleet Solutions can help you act now to create a lower-carbon, more efficient fleet – regardless of where you are on your journey.
Our four-phase journey is designed to help you reach net-zero emissions.
Phase 1 | Diagnose
We start by analysing current fleet performance and establishing decarbonisation goals.
Phase 2 | Build
We will work with you to build a robust plan tailored specifically to your fleet and business and identify any quick win initiatives to power your progress.
Phase 3 | Deploy
We deploy a tailored mix of solutions like electrification, advanced telematics and carbon offsetting.
Phase 4 | Realise
We will monitor and track results, providing recommendations to help reach net-zero emissions sooner.
