Our approach to implement fleet sustainability?

At Vanguard, we believe in collaboration and data-driven decision-making. Our innovative Green Program goes beyond just reducing emissions – it's a collaborative path to a greener, more sustainable future for your car fleet.

 

We'll work with you to understand your specific sustainability goals and the capabilities of your fleet across various countries.

Here's how it works:

Phase 1: Charting the Course

  • Collaboration is Key: We'll assess your company's readiness for GHG Protocol reporting and identify countries with the most potential for vehicle electrification based on factors like infrastructure and electricity efficiency.
  • Data Drives Decisions: We'll analyze your current fleet and gather insights from various sources.

Phase 2: Take-Off 

This phase is tailored to each country:

  • Countries Ready for Electrification:

    • Employee Engagement: We'll work with you to understand your employees' needs and preferences for electric vehicles (EVs) through targeted surveys or focus groups.
    • Charging Infrastructure: We'll secure charging solutions for home, office, and on-the-road travel,leveraging existing partnerships or issuing RFPs for new vendors.
    • Smart Sourcing: We'll help you source cost-effective EVs and lease agreements, keeping Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) in mind, including infrastructure and tax implications.
    • Policy & Communication: We'll develop clear EV-compatible policies and procedures, complete with targeted change management and communication plans to ensure a smooth transition.

  • Countries with Limited Electrification Potential:

    • Exploring Alternatives: We'll identify the most suitable alternative solutions for your situation, including hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs), driver training programs, and mobility options to reduce emissions.
    • Offsetting Options: We'll assess the feasibility of acquiring renewable energy to offset emissions from your fleet.
    • Futureproofing Your Fleet: Together, we'll establish clear criteria for transitioning to electric vehicles (ZEVs) in the future, ensuring your fleet stays ahead of the curve.

Phase 3: Landing Gear Up 

  • Building the Business Case: We'll create a comprehensive glidepath outlining the transition from your current fleet to a greener future for each country, including employee-level details.
    • Budget Development: We'll develop a detailed budget based on TCO calculations and infrastructure costs.
    • Stakeholder Presentation: We'll prepare a clear and concise presentation deck with key data and insights to secure stakeholder buy-in for your Green FleetCommand™ program.
