CO₂e data for your vehicle fleet at a glance – with the DKV Carbon Monitor

DKV Mobility has grouped its new CO₂e services for monitoring your DKV Mobility transaction-related fleet emissions under the umbrella term "DKV Mobility Carbon Monitor." The new solutions "CO₂e Emissions Tracker," "Annual CO₂e Report," and a solution for determining emission savings potential are part of the DKV Analytics premium package in the digital customer portal, the DKV Cockpit, and (as far as the CO₂e Tracker is concerned) also available via the E-API.

The DKV Mobility Carbon Monitor provides a transparent overview of:

• Well-to-Wheel (WTW): the total system boundary of your fleet emissions:
• Well-to-tank (WTT): Emissions before refueling/charging
• Tank-to-wheel (TTW): Emissions after refueling/charging

In the new CO₂e Tracker, emissions are already broken down into well-to-tank (before refueling/charging) and tank-to-wheel (after refueling/charging) at the transaction level. The time period for the transaction overview can be freely selected and exported.

The corresponding annual CO₂e report covers a calendar year (January 1 to December 31) and provides you with an official fleet emissions balance (well-to-wheel level) and a corresponding methodology report, which you can share with your auditing company, for example, to fulfill your reporting obligations under the CSRD. This report can be downloaded collectively for multiple customer numbers.

The calculator for determining savings potential visualizes the emission savings potential achieved by using alternative fuels and e-mobility instead of fossil fuels.

The former "CO₂ Tracker" only listed tank-to-wheel CO₂ emissions (after refueling/charging) based on your fleet's fuel consumption via DKV Mobility card transactions. The new premium version shows more detailed well-to-tank and tank-to-wheel data at the transaction level.

The report will be available at the beginning of the year following the respective reporting year, as soon as all transactions are known and all data quality checks have been completed.

You can use the documents from the DKV Mobility Carbon Monitor for submission to auditors. You can forward these documents to your auditing company.

In addition to the overview of well-to-wheel emissions, a methodology report describing the data basis and modeling logic is included. You can forward these documents to your auditing company.

• Well-to-tank (WTT): refers to emissions generated during energy production, transport, and storage before the energy reaches the vehicle.
• Tank-to-wheel (TTW): includes emissions generated during the conversion of energy into kinetic energy in the vehicle.
• Well-to-Wheel (WTW): describes the total life cycle emissions from energy production to vehicle operation.

The recording of the entire emission chain is necessary for complete reporting and forms the basis for regulatory disclosure requirements, e.g., within the framework of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).

The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is a new EU directive that requires companies to report on the following points:

• Risks and opportunities in the area of social and environmental issues – including in relation to climate change
• Impact of their business activities on people and the environment

All companies listed on an EU-regulated market (with the exception of micro-enterprises) are covered by the new reporting requirements. These regulations apply at different times for different types of companies and will also directly affect German SMEs in the medium term.

Even if your company is not currently subject to the CSRD and therefore not directly required to report its CO₂e footprint, your larger customers may still require you to provide information about the CO₂e emissions of your transport operations if you provide logistics services for them.

This is because these companies are required to report their Scope 3 emissions under the CSRD, which include purchased logistics services. The ability to provide accurate data on your CO₂e emissions could therefore prove to be a competitive advantage for you in the coming years.

CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalent) is a unit of measurement that makes the climate impact of different greenhouse gases comparable by converting them into the effect of carbon dioxide (CO₂). Since gases such as methane and nitrous oxide contribute much more to global warming than CO₂, their effect is expressed in CO₂e. This allows all emissions to be summarized and compared more easily.

Country-specific values are taken into account for the factors used in emissions accounting. Details on the modeling approach can be found in a detailed methodology report, which can also be used for verification purposes (e.g., in the context of CSRD) for auditors.

As the emission balances are based on aggregated calculations, the individual factors cannot be provided. Misuse may lead to misinterpretation. The data is protected by intellectual property rights and license agreements with our life cycle assessment provider, myclimate.

In the electricity sector, well-to-tank values are modeled based on the respective country-specific energy mix. All transactions reported in kWh are included. Detailed information can be found in the methodology report.
