Sorting truly sustainable tech from marketing hype
eWEEK: MOD Deploys Green Driving Tech
The UK's Ministry of Defence (MOD) has announced that it is adopting technology which should help cut road accidents and also improve the sustainability of the organisation's own vehicles.
The MOD announced late in December that it has signed a contract with sustainable driving technology specialist GreenRoad, which will cover around 4,500 vehicles in the MOD fleet for the next three years. Although the deployment is being discussed mainly in terms of reducing accidents from reckless driving, GreenRoad's technology also allows organisations to monitor how sustainably vehicles are being driven.
The MOD has been using GreenRoad's technology since 2008 and claims to have seen a 31 percent reduction in "high-risk driving manoeuvres" during that time. "GreenRoad’s service not only saves lives but also makes environmental and business sense,” said GreenRoad general manager Aidan Rowsome.
