Some of the positive green effects of the recession are not just about changes in managerial policy.
One of the results of the downturn is that there are fewer vehicles on the road, with government figures showing road traffic has fallen by around 3.4% year-on-year. This is bad news for the economy as a whole, but good news for fleets that are still making journeys. If your vans and trucks are covering routes more quickly and encountering less congestion, you are spending less on fuel and your carbon output will also be lower.
