Costs

Our sustainability initiatives have often resulted in reduced costs.

Training

All or our drivers are placed through the Energy Efficient Driver Training Programme to introduce best practice fuel efficient driving styles, leading to:

  • A reduction in the amount of fuel used
  • Reduced vehicle accidents and incidents
  • Reduced vehicle running costs
  • Improved driving standards across all vehicles
  • Improved road safety effort
  • Improved health and well-being for drivers

Consumption

Implementing a fuel efficient driving programme can reduce a fleet’s consumption by at least 5%.

For example;

5% reduction (approx. 3,350 litres of diesel fuel per vehicle per year)

                        = $4,857 a year saving (assuming $1.45 per litre)

                        = 8,733 tonnes less carbon dioxide emissions a year
