Ride Sharing
Driving Down Emissions Through Ride Sharing
Across major cities, ride sharing fleets are shifting toward electric and hybrid vehicles, making shared rides a visible contribution to lower emissions and cleaner air. Each journey completed with a low-carbon vehicle represents a direct and measurable saving of CO₂ compared to a conventional petrol or diesel car.
Avoides supports ride-sharing companies turning these savings into certified, transparent results. We don’t stop at the calculation: we build the software that tracks avoided CO₂ per ride or fleet, and we create the visual summaries that communicate these results effectively to customers, investors, and regulators. Our work ensures that every ride taken in a low-carbon vehicle can be reported, displayed, and recognized.
We calculate using internationally recognized standards (DEFRA, EEA, IPCC, European Commission methodologies, GHG Protocol, EcoInvent, Bilan Carbone, etc.). Results can be presented per trip, per driver, per platform, or annually aggregated, depending on the reporting and communication needs of your business.
Focus on Net
- Electric Vehicles (EVs)
Electric cars in ride-sharing fleets produce no emissions. We quantifie the avoided CO₂ by comparing the performance of electric vehicles with equivalent combustion cars over the same distance, using recognized European benchmarks. - Hybrid Vehicles
Hybrids reduce emissions by combining combustion engines with electric drive, lowering fuel consumption compared to standard petrol or diesel. While their savings are smaller than full EVs, they remain significant across large fleets. Avoides quantifies avoided CO₂ per kilometer, per vehicle, and aggregated across the entire platform.
Communicating Results Through Visual Summaries
-
Receipts and trip confirmations
Each rider can see the avoided CO₂ of their journey, displayed directly on their trip summary. -
Mobile app visuals
Avoided emissions can be shown as intuitive icons - trees planted, liters of fuel saved, or cars taken off the road - making the impact instantly relatable. -
Platform dashboards
Aggregated avoided emissions for the entire fleet are displayed in interactive dashboards, accessible to sustainability teams, investors, or regulators. -
Annual certificates and reports
Ride-sharing companies can issue certificates of avoided emissions per year, per fleet, or per region, strengthening their reputation and ESG credibility.
Strengthening Your Role in Decarbonization
For ride-sharing platforms, quantifying avoided emissions is not just compliance, it is a defining part of business identity.
Each avoided ton of CO₂ strengthens the role of shared mobility in decarbonizing cities. By documenting these reductions, your company proves its place in the broader European transition to low-carbon transport, building reputation and long-term resilience.
Riders increasingly want their mobility choices to align with sustainability values. Showing avoided CO₂ per ride or per month builds loyalty and makes the service more attractive compared to traditional transport.
Municipalities and regulators expect clear climate contributions from mobility providers. Certified avoided emissions help companies secure city contracts, demonstrate their role in decarbonization, and comply with European disclosure requirements such as CSRD and ESRS.
Certified avoided emissions data improves ESG performance and enhances access to sustainable finance. It also positions ride-sharing companies as credible partners for investors who prioritize measurable climate impact.
