Real-Time Insights for Greener, More Efficient Fleets

Updated by Onye Dike on September 12th, 2025
Sustainable Fleet Management by Samsara helps fleet operators and sustainability teams turn telematics and fuel data into measurable carbon results. Emissions are calculated from fuel consumption using U.S. Environmental Protection Agency factors, while dashboards unify idling, driver efficiency, and electric vehicle planning. A Fuel & Energy Hub and Sustainability Report provide fleet-wide and per-vehicle views to identify top contributors and forecast progress. For mixed fleets transitioning from internal-combustion to electric, Samsara combines day-to-day fuel savings with longer-term electrification insights, so teams can document reductions credibly and share milestones with stakeholders across vehicles, sites, and time.

Core Features

Samsara’s Sustainable Fleet Management solution enhances carbon accounting by giving fleet-owners accurate, comparable emissions data alongside operational insights. It embeds emissions metrics into core fleet dashboards and reports, so decision-makers can see not just usage (fuel, energy) but how that usage translates into carbon emissions. These features support setting goals, tracking progress, and making choices that reduce greenhouse gas output. Below are some of its key tools:

  • Fuel & Energy Hub: Provides a unified dashboard for mixed fleets (internal combustion engine, electric, hybrid) that combines fuel consumption, energy usage, cost, and emissions. Helps to identify inefficiencies and guide fuel savings with carbon impacts clearly shown.

  • Sustainability Report: Visualizes current fleet emissions across sites and vehicles, shows predicted emissions over time, allowing users to set realistic carbon-reduction targets and monitor progress against those goals.

  • Charge Control: Manages large-scale electric vehicle charging, with alerts for charging issues and ability to set custom profiles per vehicle or group. Helps reduce “carbon leakage” via inefficient charging, ensures EVs are charged in ways that maximize emissions benefit.

  • EV Suitability Report: Ranks which internal combustion engine vehicles in a fleet are most suitable for transition to electric, using configurable criteria. Enables fleet managers to see carbon-reduction opportunities by switching vehicles, and plan transitions where emissions gains will be greatest.

Closing Insights

Sustainable Fleet Management sits within Samsara’s Connected Operations Cloud, used by thousands of customers across North America and Europe—from transportation and logistics to construction, manufacturing, retail, and the wider public sector. Samsara is widely regarded as a pioneer and category leader in connected operations.

Recent momentum includes a partnership with Rivian to simplify electric-fleet management for mixed fleets: Rivian vehicle data (GPS location, odometer, state of charge) now flows directly into the Samsara platform, giving teams unified visibility over internal-combustion and electric assets and clearer inputs for emissions planning as Rivian Commercial Vans scale.

Together, the breadth of customers and this EV collaboration signal a practical path to measurable carbon reductions—centralizing fuel and energy information, reducing tool fragmentation, and helping fleets report progress with confidence within the same system they use to run daily operations.
