Fleet Operators / Drivers
Why get SAFED trained?
If you are a fleet operator or a van driver there are a number of benefits to SAFED for van training.
For fleet operators these include:
- Reduced fuel costs through more efficient driving style
- Reduced accidents by the fleet with associated reduced costs
- No negative impact on journey time
- Motivated drivers who have received high quality training
- Introduction to improved fuel management practices to help improve the management of the fleet
- Reduced maintenance requirement through improved vehicle sympathy
For drivers these benefits include:
- More fuel efficient driving
- Less stressful driving techniques
- Less chance of accidents
- No negative impact on journey time
- The techniques taught can be adopted for use in your own private car, hence personal financial benefits
How much does it cost?
The first 50 driver trainers and 100 drivers recruited following the launch of SAFED for Vans in Scotland will not be required to contribute towards the cost of their training.
Places are limited to five per organisation and will be awarded on a first come first served basis until the funding has been exhausted.
