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”.
