CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (CSR) 5 Health, safety and environmental information

Controlling discharges into the air

Analysis recently carried out by a company specialized in emissions testing has shown that an LPG vehicle emits 18% less CO 2 on average, and 10 times fewer particles than a gasoline-fueled vehicle.

Petroleum products distribution activity Promoting the use of LPG, an alternative energy in the distribution activity Several Rubis Énergie subsidiaries operate in the market for the distribution of LPG, and contribute to growth in its use. This is the case for Vitogaz France, which carries out communication campaigns promoting the use of LPG in the automotive sector. As explained by the French Environment and Energy Management Agency (ADEME), vehicle engines running on LPG “discharge very few nitrogen oxides (NO X ) and no particles. They produce few or no toxic, unregulated toxic pollutants compared to gasoline or diesel. Their CO 2 discharges are comparable to those of diesel, with equal engine power”.

REDUCTION IN THE MILEAGE OF DISTRIBUTION ROUNDS WITH ON-BOARD INFORMATION To optimize delivery routes, thereby helping reduce the environmental impact of vehicle traffic, certain subsidiaries have equipped their truck fleets with on-board computers. Vitogaz France, for instance, has equipped its delivery trucks with an on-board communications system that automatically transmits daily delivery rounds to each truck, along with a proposed itinerary optimizing mileage as much as possible.
