What are the key features you’d expect to see in a carbon calculation tool for road transport?

Here’s our list. What other features would you add?

👣 Carbon footprint calculation: the number one requirement. An accurate calculation of total greenhouse gas emissions generated by road transport activities.

🔢 Data input flexibility: usage of a variety of data such as fuel consumption, distance travelled, load weight, vehicle type, vehicle speed and terrain to provide more accurate carbon footprint calculations.

🪈 Emission breakdown: show how emissions are distributed across different activities to help identify where reductions can be made.

🔎 Real time tracking: enable users to track carbon emissions over time and assess the impact of emission reduction initiatives.

📦 Offsetting and reduction recommendations: actions to reduce carbon emissions i.e. route optimisation, load management etc.

🖥️ Systems integration: integrate with other tools to provide more insights on operational and financial impacts.

🖊️ Reporting and compliance: ensure compliance with environmental regulations and sustainability reporting standards.
