The Eco ladder for energy management: A literature review of economical driving and energy management

In the present study, we therefore develop a research-based model for how trucking companies can work with economical driving and energy management at the organizational level. We call the model the Eco Ladder for energy management. The Eco ladder describes an approach with gradual introduction of specific measures, where companies must start with the measures that we assume to have the greatest effect, and which are easiest to implement, before moving on to the next level. We also discuss what effects companies can expect from the measures, for finances, emissions, traffic safety and the working environment, based on existing research.
