80 tonnes of CO2.
Three months. One real fleet.
This is the SECR output from a 223-vehicle UK environmental charity fleet, computed from connected-vehicle telemetry over January–March 2026. Customer name anonymised; methodology, numbers, and DEFRA 2025 factors are exactly what the live Orbis pipeline produced. Download the full ten-page report to see what a real SECR looks like when the numbers are measured, not estimated.
Different OEMs. Same principle.
Every SECR number in the sample report traces back to the vehicle itself — never a fuel card, never WLTP, never an industry average. The method varies by manufacturer. The source doesn't.
Where the OEM tells us.
Citroën, Peugeot, Volvo and others expose engine fuel consumption directly via their APIs — litres burned, kilowatt-hours charged, measured by the vehicle itself every few seconds. Orbis reads it, aggregates, applies DEFRA factors. Three vehicles in this sample reached Scope 1 via this path.
Where the OEM gives us distance.
Most manufacturers — Ford, Toyota, BMW, Mercedes — report odometer readings but not direct fuel consumption. Orbis derives litres from the distance driven and the vehicle's published consumption rate. Roughly 69 vehicles in this sample reached Scope 1 via this path.
Where only the tank percentage is visible.
Volkswagen group vehicles — Skoda, VW, Audi, SEAT, Cupra — report fuel-tank percentage at ignition-off but not consumption directly. Orbis computes consumption per trip from measured tank drawdown × tank capacity. Refuels are detected and excluded automatically. The bulk of this sample's fuel data came from this method.
None of these methods involve aftermarket hardware, OBD dongles, fuel cards, or driver self-reporting. The data precision varies across OEMs; the provenance doesn't. Read the full methodology note →

Orbis produces the numbers. Covase files the report.
Orbis IO is built by Covase — a UK fleet management specialist running company-car fleets for SMEs and large corporates since 2003, BVRLA member (#2181), credit broker for business customers. For customers approaching the SECR energy-consumption threshold (40,000 kWh/year), Covase doesn't just produce the data. They handle the full filing cycle: board review, auditor liaison, year-on-year tracking, and the strategic conversation about what to do with the findings.
Not just a dataset.
Covase converts the raw Orbis output into the narrative directors, auditors and Companies House expect — with the governance language, methodology citations, and prior-year tracking that a SECR submission actually requires. The PDF you just downloaded is the starting point; the filed report is what arrives on the board table.
One reporting period is a datum. Four is a trend.
SECR's value compounds over consecutive reporting years — the comparison between this year and last is what demonstrates real reductions (or identifies real gaps). Covase maintains that continuity across years for every client, so year four reads back to year one with methodology integrity intact.
A human, not a form.
Every Covase client has a named account manager who owns the fleet relationship — not a shared inbox. They know your fleet, your drivers, your renewal calendar, and your SECR reporting cycle. The kind of fleet manager most SMEs can't justify hiring full-time, sitting alongside your finance team.
"Unpopular opinion: software doesn't run fleets."
Orbis measures. Covase runs. Between the two, a SECR filing becomes a process, not a project.
