This document is a guest column from the August/September 2012 issue of Perspectives magazine. It discusses the challenge of implementing greener practices in off-road and heavy equipment fleets and introduces the Association of Equipment Management Professionals (AEMP) Green Fleet Initiative as a guide for fleet managers. The initiative encourages and recognizes fleet managers in their mission towards a cleaner fleet and highlights the benefits of implementing greener practices, such as fuel savings, employee wellness, and public perception. The AEMP program offers Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum levels to help fleet managers understand the practices necessary for a greener fleet, with three of the four levels requiring upgrading to engines meeting Tier 2 or Tier 3 emissions standards. The City of Euless, Texas, and Lee County Fleet Management in Florida are mentioned as examples of government fleets that have achieved Green Fleet certification at the Silver and Platinum levels, respectively. These fleets have implemented alternative fuels, idle policies, and upgraded their engines to meet emissions standards. The document emphasizes the importance of greening fleets to improve public perception and encourage other fleets to take action.
