Investing in EV vehicles , controlling fuel costs and fleet downsizing are other green means that benefit this industry. These three areas are costly to companies and the environment, but eco-friendly transportation methods can solve these issues. Your company can switch to a cleaner transportation policy with some strategic planning.
