Travel - Company Vehicles

Company Vehicles

If you have a company vehicle you can choose how you collect the data. The 4 different methods are Mileage, Odometer, Fuel and Journey.

Mileage

To add the data click on Travel on the lefthand side - > Company vehicle.

Select the vehicle you are collecting the data for and click on Mileage.

Enter the date of travel, this can be a specific date or week, month, quarter or annual range.

Enter the distance, the unit for this will come from the vehicle when it was setup, either miles or Kms. If you have any coding requirements for your organisation, they would be entered in the tags section.

Then click Save, depending on the filter on the right hand side you will see your saved entries build.

Odometer

If your company prefers odometer readings to track business mileage. Use the Odometer section.

Select your vehicle and the date of travel.

The previous odometer reading will be displayed, so that you only need to enter the new reading and the distance will be calculated by Zeropath.

If this is your first reading, the opening one should have been entered against the vehicle and will be displayed as the last reading on this screen.

Again, enter any coding required in the tags field and Save.

Please note the odometer section cannot be used without an opening reading entered against the vehicle.

Fuel

If you are able to enter the litres of fuel used in your vehicle for business purposes (this is the most reliable method for carbon emissions calculations) then select the Fuel tab.

Again, select your vehicle and the date of travel, for fuel the week option may be useful as the tank has been used over a period of time.

Enter the quantity of litres used and any coding, Save the entry.

Journey

If you are using distances for business journeys to calculate carbon emissions, but do not know what it would be, use the Journey option. This uses Google maps to calculate the route and distance.

Again, select the vehicle that has been used and the date of the journey.

Enter the start and end locations in the boxes provided, this can be postcodes or full addresses. When all of the required locations have been added click on a magnifying glass to perform the distance calculation.

Within this section there are arrows on the location fields which allow locations to be moved around in the journey. The red delete icon can be used to remove a location.

The green plus allows another location to be added and the arrows will add in the locations to make a return journey.

Tags are available for any coding requirements.

On completion click Save to add the journey.
