Fuel savings can add up fast when drivers are trained in the best techniques. Here are three simple, yet highly effective ways to save: 1️⃣ Remind Them to Feather the Pedal: Gently accelerating, instead of flooring it, can reduce fuel consumption. Even driving just 3 mph slower on motorways brings savings 2️⃣ Drivers Need to Think Ahead: If your drivers get off the accelerator sooner and allow the weight of the vehicle to slow them down instead of hitting the brakes, you’ll not only save fuel it will reduce the wear and tear on your vehicles 3️⃣ Engines Should Never be Left Idling: Stop-start is a well known fuel saving technology on cars, and the same principles apply to HGV’s and vans. Training your drivers on how and when to use this technique will take your fleet a long way towards achieving fuel saving! This is all very achievable, but to succeed educating and incentivising your drivers to adopt these habits will make a noticeable difference to your bottom line.
