During 2022, almost 11,000 drivers participated in the Addsecure Eco-Driving Challenge. The company has pronounced the competition a great success, in which around 75 companies, organised through 131 teams with approximately 7,000 vehicles, participated. The Finnish transport company Ahola Transport won the prize for best eco-driving score, Swedish Västbo Transport for greatest reduction of CO2, and Intercargo Scandinavia for the best improvement.

The results from the Eco-Driving 2022 competition, called the "Addsecure Eco-Driving Challenge", were announced this week; entry to the competition is voluntary among Addsecure’s Smart Transport customers and is based on the Addsecure Eco-Driving Index.

When AddSecure analysed the data, the improved driving behaviour proved to deliver major fuel savings. When comparing the 2022 results with 2017 (when the challenge started), Addsecure's calculations show that the competing companies reduced their total consumption by approximately 6.6 million litres of diesel on a yearly basis. This results in reduced CO2 emissions of approximately 17,500 tons and savings of about 11,9 million Euros.

To make the competition more exciting, the 75 competing companies are divided into 6 different classes based on country (SE, NO, FI, DK, DE, FR) and in one class for bus operators in Europe. During the competition Addsecure has continuously updated a performance chart to keep all stakeholders informed about the competition’s developments. On the performance chart, the leaders in three categories are presented - Largest CO2-savings in absolute terms (“Addsecure Eco-Momentum”); Best eco-driving average (based on 6 driving parameters); and finally, Best improvement of eco-driving index.
