How we calculate carbon offset for your journeys
At Zixty we use the DVLA provided emissions data in relation to the vehicle you have insured as our emissions level for carbon offset calculations.
We then use the Zixty Miles part of the app to measure the miles travelled and calculate the Eco trip score based on your driving. This is then used to calculate the total emissions which is translated into the number of trees to plant, which when fully mature will offset the carbon used. Zixty then work with Eden reforestation to ensure the trees are sustainably and environmentally planted.
Zixty calculates the offset amount based on a median score of 4-6 so if you get a higher score you will have driven in a carbon negative way and if you score under 4 you will not have fully offset your emissions - we will provide hints and tips to help you improve your eco driving score.
If you are driving an electric car we use 25g/km instead of the DVLA emissions data which states 0g/km and does not take into account emissions involved with charging the vehicle. . emissions?
