Fleet-level tracking,
fuel clarity.
Fuel consumption is the core Scope 1 emission source for logistics and transportation operators and also the variable with the most direct operational lever. CarbonTool tracks emissions at vehicle and route level, so fleet decisions have a quantified environmental dimension alongside the cost one.

Understand the Process
Fleet fuel and combustion emissions
Road, rail, air and sea freight each carry distinct emission factors by fuel type, vehicle class and load factor. CarbonTool maps Scope 1 fleet emissions at vehicle level, not as a fleet-wide average, so intensity differences between routes, depots and vehicle types are visible and actionable.
Subcontracted and third-party haulage
Where freight is subcontracted, emissions fall under Scope 3 Category 4 (upstream transport) or Category 9 (downstream transport). CarbonTool structures third-party haulage emissions using distance, weight and modal data or carrier-provided emissions factors where available. The full logistics footprint is accounted for.
Fleet electrification and transition
Transitioning from diesel to electric or alternative-fuel vehicles changes Scope 1 emissions directly and introduces new Scope 2 and Scope 3 considerations from charging energy and vehicle manufacturing. CarbonTool models transition scenarios by vehicle class and route to quantify the net emissions impact before the capital commitment is made.
Customer and regulatory reporting
Major shippers and retailers increasingly require logistics providers to report transport emissions per shipment or per tonne-kilometre. CSRD and the EU’s CountEmissions regulation are formalising these requirements. CarbonTool produces per-shipment emissions data and regulatory disclosures from the same underlying fleet inventory, without duplicate calculation.
Built for fleet operators and freight forwarders.
Logistics emissions data sits across telematics systems, fuel card records, subcontractor invoices and route planning tools. CarbonTool consolidates it into one structured inventory by vehicle, route and scope, calculated using recognized methodology, maintained continuously and ready for customer reporting, regulatory disclosure or internal fleet management.
Track emissions per vehicule and route
Connect fuel card data, telematics records and distance logs into a Scope 1 fleet emissions inventory broken down by vehicle, driver, depot and route. CarbonTool applies emission factors by fuel type and vehicle class. Updated automatically as factor databases are revised.
Quantify subcontracted freight
Structure Scope 3 emissions from third-party hauliers using shipment weight, distance and transport mode. Where carriers provide their own emissions data, CarbonTool integrates it directly. Where they do not, recognised distance-based factors maintain inventory completeness. Accuracy improves as carrier data becomes available.
Total Freight Emissions
Report to customersand regulators
Generate per-shipment emissions certificates, customer sustainability reports and CSRD disclosures from the same fleet inventory. CarbonTool produces tonne-kilometre intensity metrics and total emissions by customer lane. Commercial and compliance reporting come from one source, not two separate calculations.

CarbonTool applies mode-specific emission factors across road, rail, air and sea freight within a single shipment journey. Each leg is calculated separately by transport mode, distance, vehicle or vessel type, and load factor, then aggregated to a total shipment footprint. This gives operators a complete picture of multi-modal journeys without requiring a separate calculation per mode.
Yes. CarbonTool allocates fleet emissions to individual shipments using weight, distance and vehicle utilisation data. Output formats include per-shipment emissions certificates, tonne-kilometre intensity figures and lane-level summaries by customer. These outputs are structured to meet the reporting requirements increasingly specified in large shipper and retailer sustainability procurement standards.
The EU CountEmissions regulation (Regulation 2023/1542) standardises how transport and logistics operators calculate and disclose greenhouse gas emissions across all modes. CarbonTool structures fleet emissions calculations to align with CountEmissions methodology, including the required use of actual fuel consumption data where available and approved default factors where it is not, producing outputs that meet both customer and regulatory disclosure requirements.
CarbonTool’s scenario modelling tool compares your current diesel or mixed-fuel fleet against electrified configurations by vehicle class and route. Each scenario calculates projected Scope 1 reduction, the new Scope 2 emissions from charging energy by grid region, and the Scope 3 embodied emissions from vehicle manufacturing. This gives fleet and sustainability teams a net emissions figure alongside the CAPEX and operational cost comparison.
Fuel costs and fleet emissions move together.
Start measuring both.
Logistics and transportation operators facing customer reporting requirements, CSRD obligations or fleet electrification decisions need vehicle-level emissions data that is traceable, methodology-backed and continuously maintained. CarbonTool gives you the structure to build it, from telematics to regulatory disclosure, without rebuilding the calculation each time.
