AbstractFuel consumption has always been a matter of economic concern in road fleet management, giving rise to many initiatives aimed at fostering more efficient energy use. The increasingly awareness of environmental problems now requires these programs to include environmental aspects. A structured Eco-efficiency Management Program (EEMP) is proposed for road fleet operation, taking into account the traditional approach that strives to minimise fuel consumption as well as wider economic and environmental aspects. The EEMP has its potential evaluated in a case study undertaken for INFRAERO, Brazilian’s airport authority, on the operation of its road fleet supporting aircraft ground operations at Rio de Janeiro International Airport. The paper looks at EEMP’s implementation by identifying the program’s phases, its participants and their competencies, eco-efficiency indicators, and performance targets.
