Carbon-Conscious Decisions Reduce Fleet Cost and Air Pollution

As the automotive industry faces more regulations on CO2 emissions – and as fleet decision makers and consumers increase their awareness of the effects of carbon pollution on the environment – an assessment tool to compare vehicle choices is essential. Beyond that, the financial picture deserves thorough analysis as well.

Coca-Cola Bottling Company Consolidated Operations, LLC (CCBCC), based in Charlotte, North Carolina, secured a comprehensive system created by its innovative fleet management provider. Now, with a complete analysis of both the environmental and financial ramifications of various fleet vehicles, Coca-Cola has decreased its carbon output and associated costs significantly and is considering additional “green” fleet vehicles to take the benefits even further.

Looking at isolated data in a vacuum was pointless, so Coca-Cola Bottling Company Consolidated Operations turned to Donlen Corporation, based in Northbrook, Illinois, for the solution.

The Solution:
Analyze carbon’s environmental and economic impact with Donlen’s tool and consulting
