Environmentally Sustainable Systems
The way in which a particular car is handled can greatly affect its efficiency. This is an important factor to be taken into consideration when running a fleet, and can substantially reduce fuel costs and accident risks.
Edinburgh-based consultancy Environmentally Sustainable Systems Ltd will soon be offering clients the opportunity to take a course of practical, on-the-road lessons which will help teach them to drive their vehicles in an environmentally sustainable way. These lessons are designed to prepare drivers for the awaited Eco-Driving Test.
At the end of each lesson, drivers will be given feedback on indicators such as fuel consumption, acceleration and use of brakes. While other systems display some of these parameters, the company’s approach helps the trainee to understand how eco-friendly the training time on the road has been, and see how measurable changes in their behaviour over time lead to improvements in their own driving performance and personal risk profile.
The company has a strong and credible background in green consultancy providing seabird surveys for offshore wind farms and sustainability advice to private and public sectors, and it sees its eco-driving training as being of real interest to fleet managers aiming to maximise both their spending and their sustainability.
