ROAD transport businesses and road fleet operators are being given the chance to cut their fuel bills by thousands of pounds per truck and reduce their environmental impact as part of a new instructor training course aimed at decarbonisation and reducing supply chain emissions.
The new Low Carbon Instructor course, launched by training specialist SP Training, will enable logistics companies to reduce their fuel and energy use, improve road safety and reduce scope 3 emissions.
SP Training chairman Robin Brown said: “The benefits of this course are immense. Drivers play a critical role in a vehicle’s fuel and energy use and a reduction in fuel use of an average of 5% represents a massive cost saving.
Developed initially for large vehicles, the training is applicable for all types of fleet vehicles from HGVs to PCVs and fleet cars. The qualification is certified by Skills for Logistics and is recognised as CPD (Continuing Professional Development) for existing instructors and assessors.
