Fleet emissions and transport freight — from telematics to ESRS E1 entries
Transport emissions are methodologically complex and operationally fragmented: owned fleet telematics, 3PL carrier invoices, rail freight APIs, and air freight records live in different systems with different data formats. CarbSynq consolidates them into Scope 1 (owned fleet, fuel card data) and Scope 3 Category 4 (upstream transport and distribution) ledger entries — applying ISO 14083 methodology for freight emission calculation and GLEC Framework calculations for multimodal transport where applicable.
Every transport data source, consolidated
CarbSynq connects to FourKites, Samsara, TomTom Fleet, and other telematics providers. Distance and fuel consumption data are converted to tCO₂e using vehicle-specific emission factors (HBEFA, COPERT).
Carrier freight invoices, waybills, and carrier API connections (project44, FourKites, etc.) import shipment distance, mode, and cargo weight. ISO 14083 methodology applied for freight emission calculation.
Air freight (Scope 3 Category 4 or 9) and rail freight are calculated from IATA carbon estimates or rail operator emission data, using ICAO/DEFRA factors for air segments.
Fleet fuel card data (Shell Fleet, DKV) and marine bunker receipts are imported directly. Actual fuel volume is more accurate than distance-based estimates for heavy road and marine freight.
Stop estimating transport emissions with industry averages
Your fleet and carrier data gives you actual transport emissions — more accurate and more defensible in CSRD assurance. CarbSynq helps you use it.
