Bangkok--28 Jun--PTT
Creating awareness of energy efficiency via Eco-Driving Award is aimed to reduce the amount of fuel consumption up to 2 million liters/year and cut greenhouse gas emissions by 5,600 tons/year which is equivalent to planting 600,000 trees/year
Mr. Sarun Rungkasiri, Chief Operation Officer, Downstream Petroleum Business Group, PTT Public Company Limited presided over the ceremony of Eco-Driving Award as part of Fuel Saving Program at PTT Public Company Limited, aiming to lower PTT group transportation fuel up to 15% of 1,700 cars in the program.
Mr. Sarun stated that there were guidelines for the management of PTT group logistics that in line with corporate governance on the sustainability of society, community, and environment. The PTT Group Green Logistics Master Plan focused on green, sustainable, and environmental management system. The "Fuel Saving Program," among several in the Mater Plan, was created to transfer knowledge of fuel economy and safety to the contractors to promote road safety and bring about cleaner air on the streets across the country.
The "Fuel Saving Program" was initiated in 2014 with the information collection on the fuel use in contractors' transportation. Then the driving energy efficiency was derived by comparing the ratio of fuel use, before and after joining the program in each category of product distribution, geography, and types of vehicles. For this year, SC Carrier Co., Ltd. (SCC) was the only one who received Green Award.
To focus on implementing PTT Group Green Logistics with cooperation from all parties, it will be a big step towards achieving the goal of environmental care system, from transporting to delivery. This helps reduce the greenhouse gas emissions caused by combustion in various forms in the transport sector that affects global warming. It is important that the business industry and communities are working together in mutually supportive ways to achieve a better environment, closed by Mr. Sarun.
