Long-Term Rental Services Pass ISO Verification
Hotai Leasing (7855) announced that its core business, "Vehicle Leasing Services," has officially passed ISO 14067:2018 product carbon footprint verification and obtained a reasonable assurance statement from a third-party institution. Based on 2025 operating data, this verification covers Taiwan-wide long-term rental locations, inventorying full life-cycle carbon emissions from contract signing, location operations, maintenance and repair, replacement vehicle dispatch to waste treatment. Through transparent carbon data, it helps clients cite authoritative data, reduce supply chain inventory costs, and meet Scope 3 carbon management needs.
Maintenance Accounts for 65.6%
This inventory uses "10,000 km driven per vehicle" as the standard functional unit, focusing on emissions from the leasing service itself, separate from fuel and electricity consumption generated by clients' driving. The inventory shows that "vehicle maintenance and repair" is the main emission source, accounting for 65.6% of total service emissions. Hotai Leasing stated that it will use the inventory results as a basis to continue evaluating improvements in maintenance processes, location energy use and service digitalization, translating them into concrete carbon reduction actions.
EV Maintenance Emissions Down Over 25%
For the largest share from maintenance, the inventory shows that battery electric vehicles (BEV) reduce emissions in the maintenance stage by over 25% compared with gasoline vehicles, highlighting fleet electrification as a core carbon reduction strategy. To help clients build low-carbon fleets, Hotai has launched the "Green Leasing Fleet Project," offering flexible configurations including Toyota, Lexus, Tesla and multi-brand BEV models, extended to on-site charging pile installation services, combined with a one-stop solution of "fleet selection, charging planning, charging roaming APP and carbon data disclosure."
In charging services, Hotai has also launched the "Hotai Charging APP," integrating resources from nearly 20 charging operators Taiwan-wide across platforms, allowing car owners to use Taiwan-wide charging stations through a single APP. This move echoes the Hotai Group's "2050 Net Zero Emissions" vision. Hotai introduced ISO 14064-1 GHG inventory in 2024 and set a 25% carbon reduction target for 2030, and this year received green procurement awards from the Taipei City, Hsinchu City, Tainan City and Kaohsiung City governments.
