Turning transport in to profit

Reduce Fuel Consumption and Reduce Emissions - Measure ROI in Weeks Rather Than Months

EcoCargo training

EcoCargo training programs are designed to help accomplish the following:

  • Improve fuel efficiency

  • Reduce CO2 footprint

  • Reduce equipment wear

  • Promote a positive company image

  • Improve comfort for drivers and passengers

  • Increase on road safety

How do we do it?

EcoCargo Training combines hands on demonstration with class room discussion to teach drivers how to cut their fuel costs without increasing drive time on the road.

On the road data before and after training is used to demonstrate the results that can be achieved.

A portable monitoring device is used to gather data for each driver and vehicle before the class room training.

Then our professional instructors conduct class room sessions covering:

  • üRead the road / react to traffic to reduce consumption

  • üLearn the technology “correct”

  • üUtilize rollout (if possible)

  • üTalk to the tranny - and much more…

üOur instructors share more than 35 years of experience in training more than 60.000 drivers in Europe, South America and the United States.

We integrate economical driving skills into a safe driving message and provide the technical background behind the suggested techniques.

We don't just say what to do - we explain HOW and WHY!

EcoCargo training supplements your safety training and helps drivers save money and reduce CO2. 

The synergy of these two advanced technical trainings will support the ecological and economical future of your company!

EcoCargo training also provides drivers with a tool box containing an assortment of different techniques and methods. Drivers then test these "tools" and customize them to best fit their needs. What’s more, training is conducted using company-owned vehicles so drivers are practicing their newly learned theories with their own vehicles.

"Our client drivers are pros," says trainer Gary Pierce. "We don’t teach them how to drive – we take their skills to the next level."

After the class room session, we again record time and fuel data and compare to the information recorded earlier.  The results confirm the class room message and provide positive reinforcement to the drivers.

In fact, drivers are routinely surprised by the amount of fuel saved without impacting their normal driving time. And it’s only a one day training program to learn these incredibly effective techniques.

 

Training Results

EcoCargo training results include:

  • Fuel saving

  • Fewer gear changes (reduction of wear)

  • Overall reduction of operating costs

  • Higher average speed

  • No driving time loss (in some cases improved travel time)

  • Reduced driver stress

  • Reduced passenger stress (in buses)

  • Reduced CO2 emission

  • Increased safety on the road

In addition, detailed reports are provided that can be used as a basis for followup management.

EcoCargo training can also provide ongoing support for management, training and reinforcement programs.
