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.

How your vehicles are driven contributes to your carbon footprint. By driving just 10 km/h over 100km/h, your trucks fuel efficiency drops by 10%. A decrease in fuel efficiency increases your carbon emissions. Other driving habits that contribute to increased emissions include aggressive driving with more fuel being released and excessive idling which can lead to the same levels of pollution released as when the truck is driving. Our Scania driver score software monitors driving styles to identify areas for improvement, such as fuel efficiency, harsh braking and hill driving so that drivers can receive helpful feedback on how they can help to contribute to sustainability goals. #SmallSteps #BigImpact #ScaniaSA

Did you know? Studies have shown that an aggressive driving style can lead to a 79-137% increase in fuel consumption in petrol vehicles and a 116-128% increase for diesel vehicles. As a result, aggressive driving was also found to greatly increase exhaust emissions. Training your drivers to handle their vehicles more efficiently is therefore key to unlocking major savings on fuel, lowering environmental pollution, and of course significantly improving road safety. This is why Lightfoot's in-cab driver coaching solution is so effective - by training drivers to adjust their driving style in real-time, our technology is proven to make fleets safer, more efficient, and more sustainable, whilst our unique driver rewards system ensures that results are maintained for long-term gains.
