Training Benefits
The majority of company drivers are experienced and have been driving for many years. During this time few have had the opportunity to refresh their skills and improve techniques learnt in their teenage years.
It has long been proven that advanced and defensive drivers can benefit a company in many ways, such as:
- Fuel Savings. Our training programme is based around ECO driving. This driving style can save from 5% to 15% on your fuel bill. Imagine the annual saving if 10 drivers had the opportunity to implement ECO friendly driving techniques in their daily working life.
- Insurance Savings. Drivers trained in defensive driving techniques are far less likely to be involved in a collision. Regardless of experience, defensive driving should reduce your insurance premiums by 5% - 15% as your drivers will be involved in less accidents.
- Fleet Maintenance Savings. ECO friendly drivers put much less strain on their vehicles which, as a result of gentle and smooth acceleration, braking and steering forces, will be more reliable. Your company could save from 5% - 15% on all fleet maintenace costs.
- Reduced sickness and absenteeism and higher productivity. Employees receiving training are generally grateful if their well being is on your company's agenda. This is particularly true in the case employees given the opportunity of attending advanced driving courses, as the skills gained are transferrable to their private life. They are no longer "just a number" and morale increases. A workforce that is placed in high regard with management will consistantly outperform and have fewer sick days that one that is perceived to be taken for granted.
