Limiting Emissions and Reducing Costs: How Car Sharing Technology is Transforming NHS and Local Government Fleet Management

We are excited to announce that Hiyacar has been highlighted in a recent press release with Fleet World showcasing our significant impact on reducing emissions and costs within the NHS and local government organisations. The press release emphasises how car-sharing technology, like ours, is revolutionising fleet management, contributing to the government’s ambitious targets for emissions reduction.

Addressing Public Sector Challenges

The NHS operates the UK’s second-largest fleet, with over 20,000 vehicles covering more than 460 million miles annually. This extensive usage significantly contributes to air pollution and associated health risks. Coupled with the financial pressures NHS organisations face, innovative solutions are vital for achieving efficiency and sustainability.

Hiyacar’s Impact

Our technology is helping NHS Trusts and local governments transition to greener, more cost-effective pool fleets. Here’s how:

Transition to Green Pool Fleets

In partnership with the Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust, Hiyacar reduced CO2 emissions by 18.91 tonnes and saved £53,000 annually. Shifting from employees’ personal vehicles to a green pool fleet has cut costs and emissions significantly.

Driving the Shift to Electric Vehicles

The London Borough of Waltham Forest introduced EV car clubs through Hiyacar, achieving a 135kg reduction in CO2 emissions within two months. The initiative has demonstrated the efficiency and environmental benefits of car sharing.

Harnessing Revenue Potential

Local authorities can extend the use of pool vehicles beyond office hours, generating additional revenue. Hiyacar data shows this could yield approximately £8,000 per vehicle annually, easing financial pressures.

Empowering Employees

Car sharing helps public sector workers save money on travel costs. Through our mobile app, employees can conveniently reserve vehicles, reducing the need for costly long-term parking solutions and promoting public transport use.

Reducing Road Vehicle Numbers

Hiyacar’s Closed Loop Car Sharing initiative in Buxton and Hope Valley enables residents to share cars within their community, reducing individual car ownership and traffic congestion.
