NRC - Helping Fleets Reduce Emissions and Costs with Video Telematics
Posted: 21-Aug-2025 |


Replacing assets with more fuel-efficient vehicles or switching to alternate fuels is not practical for the short-term, but you can make operational improvements that don’t require major capital investment. With the right processes and practices in place, implementing smart dashcam technology can lead to meaningful change, real fuel savings, lower maintenance costs, and a measurable reduction in carbon emissions — all while supporting your long-term sustainability plans.  

By combining vehicle data with video insights and driver scorecards, fleet-based businesses can start making meaningful improvements immediately:  

Identifying unnecessary idling and inefficient driving behaviours such as harsh acceleration or braking, which directly impact fuel consumption and emissions. 

Helping moderate risky or wasteful habits and promote safer, greener driving styles through video telematics and scorecards to coach drivers. 

Accessing real-time analytics and sustainability dashboards to monitor carbon emissions and track progress against green goals. 

Optimising vehicle utilisation and reducing fleet size through smarter scheduling and car-pooling initiatives. 

We (NRC) recently posted an article to our website’s blog that covers this topic that we think could resonate with your members. Feel free to share the insights and hope that it sparks conversation and new opportunities in practical carbon footprint reductions in achievable ways.
