Eco-Safe Driving Can Benefit Your Business

Eco-Safe driving is not all about going slower, recent tests by the Energy Saving Trust found that of 494 test subjects, there was an average of 22.5% decrease in fuel consumption while travelling 1.2 miles per hour faster!

An Enhanced Company Image

Concern for the environment is at the top of everyones' agenda: the politicians, the media's and your clients. It is well known that fuel emissions from transport are one of the major contributors to global warming, so being seen to take measures to reduce the impact of your company on the environment will enhance your public image.

Save on Your Fuel Costs

Recent fuel price rises now make fuel saving driver courses a viable option for companies with drivers who cover high mileages. Studies have shown that adopting an Eco-Driving programme can lead to a fuel consumption reduction of up to 25% directly after the training.

Reduce Your Carbon Footprint

Public concern about Green Issues has never been higher, people care about the impact we are having on our planet. Many companies are now seeing the economic and marketing benefits of adopting a greener policy.

Save Money, Save Fuel

• A reduction in vehicle running costs due to slashing component wear
• Reducing harsh acceleration and braking to reduce a loss of up to 30% more fuel than an Eco-Save driver
• Careful motorway driving can improve safety, traffic flow and increase miles per gallon while reducing CO² by increasing driver awareness and to minimise the concertina effect in traffic
• By driving in a smoother, more dynamic manner, a driver can reduce vehicle servicing costs, for example getting an average of 7,000 miles more from a set of brake pads, over a large range of vehicles

Increase Safety, Decrease CO², Improve Corporate Social Responsibility

• Increased driver safety, including reduction in driver stress and fatigue all help to contribute to a 25% reduction in accidents
• Careful motorway driving can improve safety, traffic flow and increase miles per gallon while reducing CO² by increasing driver awareness and to minimise the concertina effect in traffic
• Traffic noise in urban areas will be reduced after training, with research showing that one vehicle driving at 4,000 rpm makes the same amount of noise as 32 vehicles travelling at the same speed but at 2,000 rpm
• An Eco-Safe driver will not only be a better driver in economic terms but they will be calmer, relaxed and more aware making them much safer
• An Eco-Safe driver will be easily recognisable on the roads from their improved skills and subtle Eco-Safe graphics and as such will improve the reputation and standing of the company they represent.
