Scania’s ’A Good Driver’ is a competition that aims to find the best driver with the best improvement in CO2 emissions reduction. For this competition, Scania decided to create a special recognition for the top 3 companies in CO2 emissions reduction. This is part of Scania’s commitment towards minimising emissions from its products and its own operations. This includes decreasing CO2 emissions by 20% from its customers’ land transport per transported tonne by 2025 (using 2015 as a baseline), as well as 50% from its own operations.
As an Ecolution partner with Scania, the good company and the good driver are part of the journey towards achieving Scania’s goal of reducing CO2 emissions in line with the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi).
