Fuel & Energy — Fleet CO₂ Emissions
Fleet CO₂ Emissions for equipment fleet management.
Tenders increasingly score carbon, and diesel's 2.68 kg/L makes fleet CO₂ a five-minute calculation every estimator should pre-compute. HVO drop-in fuel is the no-capex lever — same machines, ~90% lifecycle cut, at a per-litre premium this number lets you price against the tender points.

Note: Planning estimate — your machine's real costs depend on application severity, operator, fuel price and maintenance history. Calibrate with your own records.

About Fuel & Energy — Fleet CO₂ Emissions
Fuel & Energy — Fleet CO₂ Emissions computes the governing relationship tCO₂ = L × 2.68/1000, less 90% on the HVO share live as you type. Tenders increasingly score carbon, and diesel's 2.68 kg/L makes fleet CO₂ a five-minute calculation every estimator should pre-compute. HVO drop-in fuel is the no-capex lever — same machines, ~90% lifecycle cut, at a per-litre premium this number lets you price against the tender points. Defaults are pre-filled with realistic values for this exact scenario, and the worked example substitutes your numbers step by step so the math is never a black box.
How to use Fuel & Energy — Fleet CO₂ Emissions
