@carbonheroes

carbon heroes® is a specialist provider of Sustainable Transport solutions. We operate private schemes for employers, business parks and retail parks and regional public schemes that enable local government bodies to promote sustainable travel. Our service comprises a leading technology platform that incorporates car share (lift share), taxi matching functionality along with sharing on foot and on two wheels and integration with public transport.

Each project is driven as much by consultancy and the need to engage with end-users, be they the employees or the general public as it is by technology.

Car Share

The core of carbon heroes’ solution is a market-leading car share (lift share) application. This supports commuting, business journeys and taxi bookings, saving employees’ costs and the company’s travel expenditure and parking. It also makes work more sociable and saves on carbon emissions.

Public schemes enable local government bodies to encourage Sustainable Travel at a regional level. More..

Two Wheels

Cycling is great for personal fitness and can be an excellent alternative to driving on shorter journeys.

Travelling on two wheels, whether under your own power or on a motorbike produces less carbon dioxide and takes up less parking space than single occupancy car use.

Encouraging and reporting upon 2-wheel journeys should be a component of a Green Travel Plan. More..

On Foot

Shorter journeys can often be made on foot. If your job is near to home, this could mean walking to work, or jogging or running if you’re keen to stay fit. carbon heroes allows users to register these trips, either to see if there’s another member who’d like to share.

For employers, this can reduce the number of vehicles coming on site and is a great initiative to keep a healthier workforce. More..

Public Transport

Many of us could make better use of public transport. Some employers choose locations for access to public transport, others use shuttle services to local bus and railway stations to improve uptake amongst employees.

Both corporate carbon heroes systems and public regional services can be configured to link to real-time feeds from local transport providers. More..

Carbon Reduction

Employee travel is a significant component of most company’s carbon footprints. Whilst air travel and haulage have higher visibility, road travel is often contributes more carbon emissions and employee commuting is completely overlooked by most organisations. carbon heroes provides detailed, accurate statistics on carbon emissions reduction.

Consultancy

Implementing a car sharing or a more extensive Green Travel Plan requires more than software. The key element for success is to bring end-users on board in a consultative, positive fashion, so that sustainable travel is seen as a benefit. carbon heroes approaches each client with a fresh perspective built upon the experience of previous projects.

Fuel and Cost Savings

Fuel prices have risen faster than inflation year after year. Whether considering the Environmental, finite oil reserves or global political stability, it shouldn’t be surprising if that continues.

Taking a sustainable approach to travel means fewer single occupancy journeys, and less fuel expenditure; for employees, the company or the public.
