A Stride Towards Zero Emissions
Imperial Ride has made substantial strides in revamping its fleet to meet and exceed sustainability goals. All our vehicles meet the ULEZ standards and ZEC requirements set by Transport for London. A remarkable 60% of the fleet is now zero-emission capable, showcasing a firm commitment to reducing environmental impact. This milestone is not just a number; it represents a tangible shift in operational ethos, prioritising the planet alongside premium service. We have introduced Zero emission capable (ZEC) models, including the Mercedes Benz E-class (E300de) and Mercedes Benz S-class (S580e).
The company's dedication to green initiatives is further underscored by the fact that 35% of its fleet consists of fully electric vehicles. This move not only diminishes carbon emissions but also aligns with global trends and customer preferences for more environmentally friendly transportation options. Imperial Ride's proactive approach in this area sets a benchmark for others in the industry, illustrating that luxury and sustainability can indeed go hand in hand. We have recently introduced fully electric vehicles such as the Mercedes-Benz EQE, Mercedes-Benz EQS, and BMW i7.
Evolving with Technology: AI for Greener Dispatch
Understanding that innovation is key to sustainability, Imperial Ride has embraced artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance its dispatch system. This AI-driven approach enables the allocation of jobs to drivers in a manner that minimises carbon emissions. By optimising routes and reducing unnecessary travel, the AI system plays a pivotal role in Imperial Ride's sustainability strategy.
This intelligent allocation not only improves operational efficiency but also significantly lowers the environmental impact of each journey. Our dispatch system calculates the carbon emissions per kilometre for every ride and stores this data for annual comparison. The carbon footprint per kilometre has seen a significant reduction.
Future-Forward: The Road Ahead
Imperial Ride is not resting on its laurels. The company has a clear vision for the future, with plans to incrementally increase its fleet of electric vehicles year by year. This forward-thinking strategy demonstrates a long-term commitment to environmental sustainability, ensuring that the company remains at the cutting edge of eco-friendly practices in the transportation sector. Below are a few small but important changes to our strategies to reduce our carbon footprint.
- We've introduced iPads for name boards at airports to minimise paper waste.
- Our entire staff adopts a work-from-home shift system to decrease carbon emissions.
- Chauffeurs retain their vehicles instead of returning them to the office at the end of their shifts, further reducing our carbon footprint.
- We have introduced water bottles made from over 50% recycled PET plastic from Harrogate, and all our bottles are now fully recyclable.
We will keep you updated on our future achievements and ongoing commitment to reducing our carbon footprint.
