1) Driving times and rest periods : too often poorly understood by some drivers, this sensitive subject is approached through diagrams that to simulate and visualise the organisation of driving time and rest periods.
2) The digital tachograph : mandatory in Belgium on new vehicles since 05/08/2005, this new monitoring device represents a change in the use of the tachograph that borders on the radical. Our training services have been developed in collaboration with Phelect (the first digital tachograph installer to be approved in Belgium) and the federal police and through a diverse range of training and information programmes.
3) Haulage company organisation and management – Telematics Applications (in conjunction with ITLB – Belgium’s Road Transport & Logistics Institute).
Candidates seeking to obtain the professional road haulage qualification learn the basic elements necessary for the management of any company.
4) Parcel and/or tanker driver ADR licence. Encompassing ADR consultancy, support and engineering, this topic is approached in a user-friendly manner complemented by numerous illustrated examples (photos) and practical exercises.
5) Eco driving : teaching the driver how to reduce costs and impact on the environment, in the context of Continuous Professional Training (CPT) for truck drivers.
6) Highway code revision : reminder of the basic concepts of the highway code and recent changes.

Eco driving
License : D
Category : 1
Language : fr
Objective
To teach drivers how to reduce costs and impact on the environment, in the context of continuing professional development for HGV drivers. We would draw your attention to the fact that this training, insofar as the driver applies the advice, can represent :
10 to 15% fuel saving (± 60% of total saving on consumption),
savings in terms of tyres, brakes, oil and other mechanical engine parts (± 40% of the overall saving).
Content Theory :
The why of economic driving, the economic and environmental content.
Areas where drivers can have an impact.
How to reduce costs and impact on the environment : drive train, braking systems, types of gearbox, friction, load, relief, constant speed.
Practical :
Outline of basic theory.
Accompanied driving by drivers, with check on understanding of concepts and application of theory points touched on.
Demonstration of optimum driving by instructor.
Application of optimum driving by driver.
Explanations between driving and training debriefing phases.
Organisation
Theory : groups of at least 10 persons from a company, maximum 20 persons.
Practical : individual courses.
Teaching materials
Theory : PowerPoint presentation.
Practical : drivers drive their usual vehicle, starting out from the company depot or other usual point of departure.
Laminated summaries (Eco driving) handed out over to participants. Duration – Theory : 4 hours – Practical : 3 1/2 hours’, on weekdays, during the month following the theory part.
This practical training must comprise only driving (no interruptions for loading, working, etc.). The driver may use the rest of the day to carry out their normal work, taking care to respect their “shift”.
