This two-day training explains the challenges, how to set science-based targets in line with Ireland’s carbon budgets and most importantly how to reduce fuel use, cost and emissions with the vehicles you have now.
Course Objectives/Aims
This training course will equip Transport Managers with the skills and tools to review the efficiency of their truck fleet, and to introduce a fuel management program that can potentially save 5% of fuel use in year 1. The course covers the five pillars of truck fleet efficiency: fuel management, driver and staff skills, vehicles and maintenance, performance monitoring and information technology.
