Can CAMASYS Provide Customers With an Emission Report Alongside Their Rental Contract?

As sustainability becomes a key priority for travelers, many customers want to understand the environmental impact of their mobility choices. Airlines already provide CO₂ calculations per flight, and the same expectation is now appearing in the car rental and mobility sector.

So the question is:
Can CAMASYS provide customers with an emission calculation together with their rental contract or invoice?

The answer is yes — with the right configuration and data inputs, CAMASYS can generate a CO₂ emissions report for the customer.
Here’s how it works and why it matters.

 

How Emission Calculation Works in CAMASYS

CAMASYS already tracks key vehicle data needed for accurate emission forecasts, such as:

  • fuel type
  • average consumption
  • mileage driven during the rental
  • telematics data (if connected)
  • vehicle category emission factors

Using these inputs, the system can automatically calculate estimated CO₂ emissions for each rental period.

 

Example calculation (simplified):

  • Vehicle: Diesel 1.6
  • Consumption: 5.5 L / 100 km
  • Distance driven: 320 km
  • CO₂ factor: 2.65 kg CO₂ per liter of diesel

 

Emission Output:
320 km × 5.5L / 100 km × 2.65 kg = 46.6 kg CO₂

This number can be added to:

  • the rental contract
  • the invoice
  • a customer sustainability summary
  • a downloadable PDF in the customer portal

 

2. Why Customers Appreciate Emission Transparency

Consumers are increasingly environmentally conscious. According to global travel studies, 39–55% of customers prefer providers who show their environmental impact, and young travelers even expect it.

Providing emissions per rental helps customers:

  • understand the impact of their trip
  • compare gasoline vs. hybrid vs. electric options
  • build trust in your brand
  • fulfill corporate sustainability policies (especially for B2B clients)
  • make better future rental decisions

This service elevates your company to the level of airlines that already provide similar CO₂ statements.

 

3. How CAMASYS Delivers the Emission Report

CAMASYS can provide the emission report in several ways:

✔ Inside the Digital Contract

Automated field showing estimated CO₂ emissions.

✔ As Part of the Return Summary

After closing the rental, the system calculates emissions based on actual mileage.

✔ In the Customer Portal

Customers can log in and download their sustainability documentation at any time.

✔ On the Invoice

Visible as a line item, similar to airline carbon footprint summaries.

✔ Through Corporate Reporting

For business clients, monthly emission reports for all rentals can be generated.

This flexibility allows operators to decide how visible and detailed the emission information should be.

 

4. Real-Life Use Case

A mobility operator using CAMASYS implemented emission reporting for their corporate clients. The result:

  • Higher customer satisfaction, especially among international companies with sustainability guidelines
  • Easier CSR reporting, because CAMASYS automated all calculations
  • More electric rentals, since customers compared emission output across vehicle categories

Emission reporting quickly became a competitive advantage.

 

Conclusion

Yes — CAMASYS can provide customers with CO₂ emission calculations along with their rental contract, invoice, or digital portal.
With accurate vehicle data, automated mileage tracking, and configurable reporting tools, rental companies can offer transparency similar to airlines — and meet the rising demand for sustainable mobility.

As the industry moves toward greener operations, giving customers environmental insights isn’t just a feature — it’s a smart business decision.
