TOKYO, Oct 26, 2022 - (JCN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Fujitsu today announced the start of a digital collaboration with the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) (1), Dutch consulting firm Arcadis (2) and British electricity company National Grid (3) leveraging Fujitsu's Fleet Optimization solution to contribute to the realization of carbon neutral transportation through Business-to-Business data sharing.Figure: Outline of this demonstrationWith the aim of promoting the decarbonization of transportation, the partners conducted trials with Fujitsu's Fleet Optimization solution to combine multiple data on electric vehicles with open data on carbon intensity (CO2 emissions per unit), which indicates the degree of greenness of electric power, to support the charging of EVs during periods with ample supply of green power such as wind and solar power. Trials conducted using data from grocery delivery EVs in the UK demonstrated that Fujitsu's Fleet Optimization solution enabled fleet operators (4) to reduce CO2 emissions from EV charging by 15%.Outline of the trialsEuropean commercial fleet operators are increasingly turning to EVs to achieve carbon neutrality in t...
