Once you have the right type of driver you need to develop their driving skills.
Smart has been produced to assist in reducing the risks associated with driving. Driver development will increase safety when driving by developing knowledge and driving skills. The benefits will not only aid the individual driver, they will also extend to family and friends who travel as passengers.
Smart is an e-learning Safe and Fuel Efficient Driver Development product, which is an industry leading environmental initiative. The drivers vehicle fuel efficiency will be monitored then published pre and post training to quantify the benefits in terms of improved MPG and reduced Tonnes of CO2.
The system is designed for drivers who are keen to improve Safe and Fuel Efficient driving skills so they have the opportunity to put these skills in to practice. The product will be further developed to release across the wider community to assist in reducing overall Carbon Footprint from travel.
The system is an integral element of a Fleet Environmental Management System for which certification to the environmental standard ISO14001 would be classed as a major commitment towards reducing harmful emissions. The ISO14001 process will address the identification of environmental aspects (risks & opportunities) associated with activities, products and services relating to transport operations within business.
