ARI®, a
leading global fleet services provider
specializing in complex car and truck fleets, is pleased to
announce that Brian Matuszewski has been named among Green Fleet magazine’s Sustainability All-Stars for 2013. The award
recognizes those individuals who have made significant contributions
to environmental sustainability in the fleet industry and who have
gone above and beyond to make their company’s operations and the world greener.
Matuszewski received the award and was honored at a breakfast ceremony held
October 2 at the annual Green Fleet Conference in Phoenix, Arizona.
As ARI’s
Sustainability Manager, Matuszewski directs ARI’s sustainable fleet management
consulting efforts, which includes counseling and managing the sustainable
fleet needs of ARI’s clients. Matuszewski also manages all aspects of ARI’s
internal sustainability programs and initiatives, including the company’s waste
mitigation and energy efficiency efforts. He is the ARI representative for
partnerships with SmartWay Transport, CALSTART, and multiple Clean Cities
coalitions. In his time with ARI, Matuszewski has rolled out a sustainability
intranet site at ARI with resources dedicated to fleet sustainability and an
interactive employee idea tracker. Prior to ARI, he helped develop a public
policy fleet renewal program for the State of Puebla, Mexico while working in
Mexico City for a sustainability consulting firm.
Also at this year’s
conference, ARI’s Director of Strategic Consulting, Chris Morgan, participated
in “Small Steps towards Sustainability and Big Savings,” a presentation
highlighting how fleets can become more sustainable and uncover substantial
cost savings by examining their fleet data, developing benchmarking standards,
and implementing best practices fleet-wide.
“Many fleets seek to
maximize total cost of ownership by cycling vehicles out of service when they
either reach their maximum potential number of miles or reach a certain age,”
said Morgan. “But in order to uncover cost savings and opportunities for
sustainability, you need to do a deep dive into the data and really examine how
a fleet is operating by the numbers.”
Morgan emphasized
that using data to benchmark a fleet across multiple areas including
maintenance, fuel costs and productivity can help a fleet manager create a
solid business case for sustainable change. “Modern telematics devices and data
integration can give fleet managers significantly more insight and understanding
with regard to how their fleet is truly operating, which in turn allows for
more control over operating costs and the ability to take steps to reduce their
carbon footprint.”
