How to use the Environmental report in Fleet to follow up distance, fuel, electric share, consumption, CO2 and other environmental data for your vehicles.

Written by Daniel Porath

Common uses

Use the Environmental report when you want to follow up environmental and consumption data for your company's vehicles.

The report can help you:

  • follow up distance, number of trips and drive time

  • compare work and private driving

  • see fuel type and engine type for the vehicles

  • follow up consumption and CO2 values

  • see the electric part of the trip for vehicles where such data exists

  • find vehicles where driving behavior or idling may need follow-up

  • export report data for further analysis


Prerequisites

To use the Environmental report, you need access to Insights in Fleet.

Which values are shown can depend on:

  • which vehicles are in the account

  • which vehicle data Fleet has received in the selected period

  • the vehicle's fuel type and engine type

  • whether there is enough distance and driving data for analysis

  • which modules and permissions are enabled for your account

If a value is missing, Fleet may not have enough data for that vehicle or the selected period.


Get started

  1. Go to Insights.

  2. Open the Environmental report tab.

  3. Select month and year.

  4. Select whether the report should show All, Work or Private.

  5. Read the table, or use Export to ... if you want to work with the report outside Fleet.


What you can do in the Environmental report

Select period and type of driving

Use month and year to control which period the report shows.

You can also select which type of driving to include:

  • All shows all driving in the period.

  • Work shows work driving.

  • Private shows private driving.

This makes it easier to follow up the right data, for example when you want to compare total driving with work driving.

See vehicle and organization information

The report shows basic information that helps you identify which vehicle a row applies to.

Examples of fields:

  • Vehicle status

  • Driver name

  • Organisation

  • Cost center

  • Registration number

  • Manufacturer

  • Model

  • Fuel type

  • Engine type

Show the Cost center column via Columns when you want to sort or filter the report by the vehicles' cost centers.

The other fields help you sort and compare vehicles by, for example, organization, driver, fuel type or engine type.

Follow up driving and use

The Environmental report shows driving data for the selected period.

Examples of fields:

  • Total distance (km)

  • Days used

  • Number of trips

  • Drive time

Use these values when you want to see how much the vehicles have been used during the period.

See the electric share for hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles

For vehicles where Fleet has relevant data, the report can show Electric part of trip (%).

The value shows how much of the driving was electric in the selected period. The calculation is also based on the type of driving you have selected. If you select Work or Private, the share is calculated from that driving.

If the field is empty, there is no relevant data for the vehicle or period.

Follow up consumption and CO2

The Environmental report shows consumption and CO2 values for the vehicles.

Examples of fields:

  • Consumption per 100km

  • Adj consumption per 100km

  • Consumption

  • CO2 (kg)

  • CO2 (g per km)

For hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles, the report can show Adj consumption per 100km next to the regular consumption. The adjusted consumption takes the electric share of the driving into account by removing the part of the distance driven on electricity from the fossil fuel consumption.

This is why Adj consumption per 100km can be lower than Consumption per 100km when the vehicle has partly been driven on electricity during the period. Use the value together with Electric part of trip (%) when you want to follow up how the vehicle's driving affects the consumption data.

How CO2 is calculated

Fleet calculates CO2 from how much fuel or energy the vehicle has used, multiplied by a fixed CO2 factor for the vehicle's fuel type.

Example: 50 liters of diesel × 2.55 = 127.5 kg CO2.

How the amount of fuel is determined depends on what is selected in the Fuel calculation column for the vehicle in Administration:

  • Vehicle ECU – Fleet uses the fuel consumption that the vehicle itself reports.

  • Manually entered template – Fleet estimates the consumption from the distance driven and the consumption entered for the vehicle.

  • External API template – Fleet uses the estimated emissions per kilometer for the vehicle's car model. If the model has no such value, the CO2 factor for the vehicle's fuel type is used.

For hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles, the electric share of the driving is removed from the fossil consumption.

See which CO2 factors are used

  1. Open the Environmental report.

  2. Click CO₂ factors in the top right corner.

The How we calculate CO₂ box shows the CO2 factor for each fuel type and which source the factors are based on.

For vehicles that use API calculation, the value in the report can differ from the table in the box. This is because the calculation is then based on the specific car model.

Follow up driving behavior and idling

The report can show driving behavior data and idling values when there is enough driving data.

Examples of fields:

  • Driving

  • Speeding

  • Braking

  • Acceleration

  • Cornering

  • Idle time

  • Idling (%)

If Fleet does not have enough distance for analysis, the report may show a message that the distance is not enough to perform an analysis.

Export the report

Use Export to ... if you want to take the report out of Fleet and keep working with the data.

The export contains the columns shown in the table. Columns you have hidden are not included.

The export can be useful when you need to share environmental data internally or compile report data for another process.


Tips!

  • Select the right period before you review the report, so that the data matches the month you want to follow up.

  • Use All, Work and Private to compare different types of driving.

  • Check Fuel type and Engine type when you compare consumption between vehicles.

  • Look at Electric part of trip (%) together with the consumption values for hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles.

  • Click CO₂ factors if you want to understand how the CO2 values were calculated.

  • If values are missing, change the period or check whether the vehicle has enough driving data.
