The certification validates that Logica EMO effectively calculates greenhouse gas emissions and wasted fuel while driving. With Logica EMO drivers will be able to compare driving habits against a baseline to determine avoidable greenhouse gas emissions.

Developed at Bangalore, Logica EMO is a real-time monitoring system of vehicular emissions that uses a plug-in device that connects to the onboard computer of the vehicle and transmits emission values from vehicle wirelessly to a central office.

Emission data from EMO can be used to offer differential fuel pricing to the vehicle driver. The solution means petrol or gas stations can offer prices tailored to every individual vehicle and the associated driving behaviour, thereby incentivising ‘greener’ driving behaviours.

If the driving behaviour is green the fuel is priced lower and conversely if the driving behaviour is poor. View the video here. 

Ron Dembo, CEO, Zerofootprint, said: “Logica EMO is a unique solution designed to help individuals gain a better understanding of the impact of driving behaviour on their environmental footprint, while providing incentive to improve.”

Logica EMO was also recognised by The Economist as one of ten game-changing solutions to combat climate change.

GBS Bindra, Global Innovation Director, Logica, said, “The solution is one that can be embraced at the individual level to contribute positively to the environment. The robustness of the technology behind Logica EMO will ensure that the greenhouse gases emitted while driving are calculated accurately, enabling drivers to see how their driving directly impacts the environment.”
