Carbon Footprint Index: Measure Your Fleet’s Emissions
The Carbon Footprint Index helps leasing companies, banks, insurers, and fleet owners estimate average yearly emissions and accumulated emissions across machinery portfolios, using asset-class, market-weighted, and usage-based benchmarks.
Use our index to calculate carbon emissions for your entire inventory on a general basis. Our index provides detailed information regarding your average yearly carbon emissions. You can also track accumulated amounts for the entire period of asset ownership. This level of transparency is vital for modern environmental, social and governance (ESG) reporting. It allows you to make data-driven decisions that align with global sustainability goals.
Carbon Impact by Equipment Reference
This chart shows the carbon footprint for each equipment reference number. The bars represent the total tCO₂e from production and recycling in Europe, making it easy to see which references contribute most to the fleet’s overall emissions. This is an example of the insights available through the Carbon Footprint Index API.
Shown as tCO₂e across all model rows for each reference number.
A Methodology You Can Trust
Accuracy is the foundation of our services. The data within this tool utilizes our proven Asset Valuation Curves structure. This methodology is a robust and well-defined framework. International bodies have approved this methodology for its reliability. These include various governments, auditors, and the European Central Bank (ECB).
The Carbon Footprint Index focuses on three primary factors:
- Asset Class Levels: We categorize emissions based on specific machinery types.
- Market Weighting: Our data reflects the actual European asset population.
- Usage Patterns: We factor in how the equipment is typically used in the field.
For example, a wheel loader and a crawler excavator are benchmarked differently because they have different typical workloads, ownership profiles, and emissions patterns.
