GALP

“Simple, cost-effective and, more than technology, focused on people's behaviour." NicoIle Fernandes Project Manager, Galp

The Galp Energia Group is a Portuguese corporation which consists of more than 100 companies engaged in activities such as natural gas supply, regasification, transport, storage, and distribution; petroleum products exploration, production, refining, trading, logistics and retailing; co-generation and renewable energy.

The client prides itself for its strong social and ecological consciousness. It seeks to reduce the environmental impact of itself and its customers through various sustainability initiatives.

The Challenge

Towards this end, the client approached Logica to implement the Logica EMO solution on their vehicle fleets. The goal was to bring about a change in driving behavior that would help reduce carbon emissions while also cutting fuel bills. The client wanted to also understand the feasibility of extending the solution to its own customers through their eco friendly SmartGALP initiative.

Our Approach

The Logica EMO solution was deployed on a fleet of vehicles belonging to the clients. The drivers were then trained on the solution and given access to the system so that they could login and view their EMO results. In addition, fleet managers were also provided access to the system so that they could understand how the fleet, as a whole, was performing.

Given the easy-to-use and low maintenance aspect of the solution, the project ran on its own once the initial fitment was done. The results were monitored remotely using the web based application as well as periodic e-mail reports about fleet performance.

Impact

Over a period of 3 months, Logica EMO helped the client reduce their fuel consumption by over 10% leading to average savings of €33 per vehicle, per month. This improvement in driving characteristics was reflected in the 29% increase in their Green Index scores during the period.

In addition, Logica EMO helped improve fleet productivity and driver safety through improved driving characteristics such as acceleration and over speeding.

Based on the successful outcome of the project, EMO was adopted by GALP to be installed on a larger fleet, as well as made part of their SmartGALP program to help GALP clients reduce their carbon footprint.
