How to report equipment emissions to meet contract requirements
Emissions reporting is increasingly written into contract requirements globally, from public procurement frameworks to private project bids. If a client or project owner is asking for emissions data, here is how to produce it using Trackunit.
Step 1
Understand your requirements
Check what your client or project owner needs before connecting equipment. Most requests include total Scope 1 equipment emissions output by project period, a per-asset breakdown, and fuel-type differentiation. Trackunit’s dashboard produces all three.
Step 2
Connect your fleet
Trackunit works across every make and model of construction equipment, including ICE, electric, and machines with no CAN data. No hardware changes needed to get started.
Step 3
Capture per-asset data
Trackunit automatically calculates emissions for each asset using direct measurement where available, and a validated model for machines without direct data. All figures are based on internationally recognized combustion factors.
Step 4
Generate your report
Export fleet-wide or per-project data in Excel or CSV, filtered by site, equipment type, time period, and fuel type to match exactly what your client requested.
Step 5
Improve your score
Use the Data Scoring dashboard to check accuracy before submission, identify gaps, and update asset metadata to strengthen your numbers.
How data scoring works
Trackunit Emissions Reporting includes a score for each asset so you always know the accuracy of your emissions data before it goes to a client, regulator, or contract submission. Follow these steps to improve your score and submit numbers you can stand behind.
Step 1
Score check
Check the Data Scoring dashboard for a full fleet score.
Step 2
Drill deeper
Drill down into asset-level scores from excellent to low.
Step 3
Take action
Take action to get a higher score by updating asset meta data or connections.
Step 4
Your winning score
Achieving an excellent score means no further action is required and you are getting the most accurate emissions estimates.

Insight-fueled growth
Turn emissions data
into strategic opportunities
Built for construction. Not adapted for it.
Most emissions tools in this market were built for on-road or logistics fleets and adapted for construction. Trackunit was purpose-built for construction, where fleets are mixed, ownership is complicated, and connectivity varies.
Lead with the data model
Trackunit's emissions model was built for construction, using direct measurement where available and a validated predictive model for machines without CAN data.
Validated at scale
The data model draws on real-world usage data from over 3 million connected assets and 8,000+ equipment makes and models, making it the most grounded emissions dataset in construction.
No gaps in your report
Trackunit's adaptive model generates an emissions value for every connected asset, including machines with no CAN data. Tools that require direct data leave gaps. Trackunit fills them.
Data Scoring
Know exactly how accurate your data is before you export. The Data Scoring dashboard shows the accuracy level for every asset, and where scores are low, you can improve them before submission.
Site-level reporting
Trackunit supports emissions tracking by jobsite, depot, or defined area, so your report maps directly to how clients and project owners think about project accountability.
Find your highest emitters
Trackunit's filtering lets you drill down to the machines with the most emissions impact so you know exactly where to act first.

Frequently asked questions about equipment emissions tracking
What is the best solution for tracking and reporting equipment emissions in construction?
The most effective solution for tracking and reporting equipment emissions in construction is one built specifically for how construction operates, with mixed ownership, rented equipment, and machines without direct data. Trackunit provides per-asset emissions values across your entire connected fleet, generates structured reports ready for contract submissions and regulatory requirements, and covers gaps in direct data with a validated predictive model, making it purpose-built for construction emissions reporting at scale.
Can I include rented equipment in my emissions report?
Rented equipment can be included in your emissions report if the machine is connected through Trackunit. Emissions data is captured for all connected assets regardless of ownership. If a rented machine is not yet connected, speak to your rental provider about Trackunit connectivity. We also recommend confirming with your client upfront how rented equipment should be treated in their reporting requirement.
What if some of my machines don't have telematics fitted?
Machines without telematics cannot be included in a Trackunit emissions report. Trackunit can only report on connected assets. If coverage gaps are a concern, speak to Trackunit about connectivity options for your equipment
What if my data is incomplete or low quality?
Incomplete or low-quality data can be managed using the Data Scoring dashboard, which shows the accuracy level for every asset before you export. Where scores are low, you can update asset metadata or connections to improve them. Submitting a report with a visible data score also shows your client that you understand where estimates are involved and have taken steps to improve accuracy.
What happens with machines that don't have CAN data?
Machines without CAN data can still be included in your emissions report. Trackunit's adaptive model uses machine type, operating hours, and historical data from over 3 million connected assets to generate an emissions estimate. You get a figure for every machine, not just the well-connected ones.
Will a Trackunit report satisfy my client's emissions requirement?
Whether a Trackunit report satisfies your client's emissions requirement depends on what they have requested. Trackunit reports use internationally recognized combustion factors and are exportable in Excel or CSV. We recommend reviewing your client's specification and using Trackunit's filters by site, period, asset type, and fuel type to match the format they need.
