Sustainable Automotive

Drive Carbon Neutral is a small feel-good option for customers. If they purchase it, we plant 75 trees on their behalf which offsets an average vehicle’s emissions. No upfront cost. Pay only when sold. We understand the world you live in. Automotive has seen its difficulties with tariffs, cost sensitive customers, squeezed profit margins, D2C, the list goes on. Even so, we are consistently seeing a 55%+ penetration rate. It’s such a small commitment for customers because they feel good doing their part, and it only adds a few dollars a month to their loan. We designed Drive Carbon Neutral to align with dealers’ goals. There is profit for the dealership every single time a customer chooses to Drive Carbon Neutral. It’s incredibly easy to set up- many have met with us for the first time and started the very next day unlocking tens of thousands of dollars in additional profit each month effortlessly, as Drive Carbon Neutral runs itself after set up. This helps partners bring that “more than a dealership feel” in the easiest way while you focus on what you need to. We provide complimentary marketing and handle community engagement events for you too. We’ve been doing this for over 5 years, have nearly 80,000 customers, planted almost 6,000,000 trees, and helped our partners make millions in profit, all while helping the planet. Everyone wins.
