Environmental management systems (EMS) provide organizations in the trucking industry with a process-oriented framework for systematic management. A typical EMS that applies to the trucking industry requires objectives and targets related to environmental aspects of fleet operations – such as fuel consumption, emissions, waste management, and use of resources during the operation of vehicles and depots – to be identified, controlled, and monitored.

An EMS provides a systematic way of ensuring organizational compliance with all applicable environmental regulations and, in addition, supports the adoption of environmentally friendly practices that contribute to long-term operational efficiency and environmental stewardship.

TruckX environmental management systems are a part of our core fleet management solutions and are geared toward helping trucking companies with their environmental footprint. A major part of TruckX’s EMS includes employee training, inventory management, waste management, greenhouse gas emissions, and fuel efficiency.

TruckX’s EMS begins with robust data collection and analysis. Data flows from vehicle telematics and expanded real-time data flows, yielding a much more detailed baseline of how a vehicle performs, how it consumes fuel, and which emissions it generates. EMS identifies waste and potential areas for tuning, consolidation, and enhancement. For instance, it may pinpoint the potential fuel savings available to fuel-heavy truck fleets that shift from conventional engines to natural gas or low-sulfur diesel.
