A driver training course, focusing specifically on fuel efficient driving, is available from Volvo Trucks. The long-term objective is to secure lasting reductions in fuel consumption of at least five per cent.
Tests have shown that transport companies can reduce their fuel costs by between five and ten per cent by training their drivers. Eco-driving is all about awareness and planning. By adopting a number of simple techniques, drivers can contribute to cutting both fuel costs and emissions, while also limiting their own stress and
body strain.
