Background:
Statens Vegvesen, a central authority in Norway, embarked on a mission to become a leader in sustainability. Recognizing the importance of accurate data and organizational integration, SVV aimed to reduce its vehicle fleet by 25%. Senior Advisor Andre Kempe stressed the need for a robust database for informed decisions.
Challenges and insights:
SVV’s consultants identified that a significant part of their fleet was underutilized and could be reduced or scaled down. Sindre Røstad, another senior advisor, emphasized the need for data-driven insights and management commitment to efficient and sustainable solutions. The vehicle fleet reduction was part of SVV’s broader sustainability strategy, which included a 20% reduction in energy consumption by 2023.
