Improve Driving Fuel Efficiency

By

A hand book encouraging drivers to operate with greater fuel efficiently is now available from the FBP (Freight Best Practice).

Richard Elviss, FBP programme manager quoted “The Fuel Efficient Truck Drivers Handbook is just one part of FBP’s aim to cut operators fuel use and overall carbon footprint”, he continued to explain that the guide is one of four case studies which show by switching off your truck engine when stationary for long periods can save up to 2 litres of fuel an hour.

The guide is available in one of two formats, either a traditional handbook which can accompany the driver at all times and a DVD which will appeal to fleet operators who wish to conduct group sessions.

“it’s easy to boost your company’s bottom line by saving fuel with simple changes” Elviss says, “it’s an enormous challenge to get the message across to drivers because everyone responds to a different approach.”, “For some drivers, league tables will work, while for others appointing a ‘fuel champion’ or bonus schemes for fuel-efficient driving is the answer."

The free of charge handbook is available by calling FBP on 0845 8770877.
