Comments on: PHH Study Reveals Cost Barrier for Fleet Emission Reductions http://www.environmentalleader.com/2009/07/07/phh-study-reveals-cost-barrier-for-fleet-emission-reductions/ Environmental Leader Mon, 13 Feb 2012 17:25:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Jason Mathers http://www.environmentalleader.com/2009/07/07/phh-study-reveals-cost-barrier-for-fleet-emission-reductions/comment-page-1/#comment-135592 Jason Mathers Thu, 09 Jul 2009 19:53:30 +0000 http://www.environmentalleader.com/?p=17551#comment-135592 Environmental Leader's headline on the perception of costs in reducing fleet emissions in this article is unfortunate. As the PHH survey clearly notes, 24% of fleets have been finding cost savings as they reduce emissions. Further, the fleets that have fully participated in PHH GreenFleet, the fleet industry's first comprehensive greenhouse gas management program - which was developed in partnership with Environmental Defense Fund - have seen a four percent reduction in lifecycle operating costs while reducing emissions by 14%. Clearly, there remain opportunities for fleets to reduce costs and emissions. I wrote a post on the EDF Innovation Exchange blog (http://blogs.edf.org/innovation/2009/07/07/new-survey-shows-jump-in-fleets-measuring-emissions/) that highlights some of the more positive outcomes of the survey, including the percentage of fleets that claimed to be measuring their greenhouse gas emissions, which is 40%, a significant jump from the 28% reported in 2008.
