Carbon Voyage for Businesses

Carbon Voyage explained

Carbon Voyage provides a number of useful tools for businesses that result in cost and environmental savings:

Our unified web application allows you to access a broad range of transport providers at once – we will do all the legwork in finding the right vehicle to meet your needs.
You get a summary of accounts for your entire travel expenditure booked through us. This prevents “made-up”, illegal receipts flowing through accounting systems, and assists with P11D compliance.
The passenger sharing function identifies opportunities for travelling with your own team. This prevents staff from accidentally booking two vehicles where one would have been sufficient.
Our easy-to-use website lets you set your preferences for saving. You can take advantage of empty taxi journeys, share with other passengers or with courier items. You tell us.
We measure the carbon footprint of your total taxi expenditure and the savings that have been generated through using Carbon Voyage. We can also work with you to offset the remaining footprint.

Quick facts

There are 22,000 licensed taxis and 46,000 private hire vehicles in London

The taxi industry consumes over 700,000 tonnes of fuel and is responsible for over 2 million tonnes of carbon emissions each year.

The majority of taxis have CO₂ emissions of 226 g/km and above. The Toyota Prius has a CO₂ emission rating of 104g/km.

Taxis emit more CO₂ than buses for the same number of people.

Taxi fares will rise 3.4% in 2009 to meet higher black cab running costs, but only 1/3 of these vehicles are on a system that allows jobs to be sent to them.

A business in which employees take an average of forty 10 kilometre taxi trips per month generates 1.2 tonnes of carbon dioxide.

Employees in the media and publishing industry claimed the most business miles and the most taxi journeys in 2007.
