Offered as a core component of the global fleet services provider's corporate sustainability programme, ARI SustainableWorks is designed to help clients develop and implement forward-thinking sustainable strategies that are tailored to each fleet’s unique objectives, needs and operating characteristics. A team of industry-leading consultants is at the core of this new service, which is dedicated to helping fleets to optimise operations by reducing total cost of ownership and enhancing environmental performance.

“Major advancements in vehicle technology, communication systems and analytics capabilities give fleet managers more opportunities than ever before to optimize their fleet operations in a clean and cost-effective manner,” said Brian Matuszewski, manager of sustainable strategies at ARI. “ARI SustainableWorks has been created to simplify this process by providing fleet managers with a single point of contact to define fleet objectives, conduct a comprehensive analysis and deliver a customized solution that includes a complete strategy for successful implementation.”

A key approach of ARI SustainableWorks is to examine the entire life cycle of a vehicle fleet in order to determine how best to customise their recommendations and solutions. This includes evaluating fleet utilisation, determining how best to strategically implement clean technology vehicles, developing more efficient driver behaviour strategies, and conducting comprehensive fleet emissions reporting.

ARI’s consultants also use geospatial mapping systems to strategically identify optimal locations in the fleet where the latest technologies are both logistically feasible and cost-effective to implement.
