Background to ESOS

The EU’s Energy Saving Opportunity Scheme came into force in November 2012 and is designed to drive improvements in energy efficiency.  It includes a requirement that all UK organisations that meet the qualifying criteria must undertake and complete an energy audit every four years, starting in December 2015. The submission date for Phase 2 is 5^th December 2019.

What is the focus of a transport ESOS audit?

ESOS Audits provide you with a clear analysis of your organisation’s annual transport fuel and energy use along with a range of identified measures aimed at making savings; helping you take steps towards the development of a transport specific energy and fuel reduction strategy.

They are designed to identify and rank fuel efficiency measures within a wide variety of vehicle types, including cars, vans, rigid trucks and tractor units as well as more exotic equipment such as off-highway machinery, forklift trucks and grounds maintenance equipment.

The results of our services guide you towards operationally practical solutions that offer both fuel reductions and best-case economic impact, ensuring well-informed decision making. In 2014 audits identified potential fuel cost savings of between £10,000 – £1,000,000 for organisations, depending on the measure being implemented.

On completion of an Audit you will be supplied with a written report containing an assessment of your existing transport operations, along with:

• Identified energy and fuel saving measures to implement
• An analysis of the potential annual cost and energy savings
