Route iQ is a powerful tool, aimed at helping fleets reduce their carbon footprint through precise route planning. Due to efficiency gains and reduction in fuel usage, Route iQ is the only sustainability tool that saves you money whilst you use it. The three key areas of focus are CO2 reduction, transition to alternative fuels, and other indirect environmental benefits.

Reduction of carbon directly from vehicles
There are two metrics companies use for measuring CO2 emissions: “Direct CO2 Emissions” and “CO2 produced per £1000 of turnover”.
Both are designed to evidence how effectively companies are reducing their carbon footprint, working respectively to show how much CO2 is produced proportional to continual growth in turnover.
Route iQ helps with both of these metrics as:
- Route planning finds ways for the same vehicle to hit the same delivery points but reducing milage.
- Less miles means a reduction in CO2 emissions.
- Less miles with fewer vehicles means a further reduction in CO2.
- More deliveries with the same fleet results in an increase in turnover without increasing CO2. Consequentially, CO2 produced per £1000 turnover is reduced.

Route iQ as a tool for alternative fuels
The software works on vehicles of any type, it does not exclude any eco-friendly fleets to be more efficient and grow.
The software can be used to overlay different vehicles onto fleets, and show what the procurement requirements would be for a fleet that wanted to transition to alternative fuel:
- The software can analyse a diesel fleet, for example, and conclude that an EV fleet of the same number vehicles could create the same output.
- This gives fleets the strategic vision to make smarter decisions on alternative fuels by giving them data on what vehicles, how many, and when to transition.
- Route iQ can also be used to inform where EV charges should be strategically installed if depot or home charging is insufficient.

Other environmentally friendly Route iQ benefits
- More efficient vehicles means lower tyre wear out and less frequent tyre replacement. Tyres are one of the most unsuitable things to dispose of or replace.
- Better planned routes reduces the need for drivers to overspeed on their journeys to get between addresses on time. Speeding produces more CO2 emissions.
- Better planned routes results in drivers not having to overload their vehicles. Driving a heavy vehicle produces more emissions.
- Reducing Scope 1 emissions of CO2 directly, means the company doesn’t have to invest as much money into carbon offsetting programs. This means they keep their money in their pocket to invest into further sustainability measures.
Who is Route iQ for?
- Companies with 5+ vehicle fleet
- Companies where vehicles do multi-drop routes (5+ drops per day)
- Companies who route their own vehicles (or at least control where their vehicles go)
