Fuel-saving * UK - Driving styles will save a fortune
London,UK -The Road Transport, by David Harris -4 August 2008: -- Telematics specialist Isotrak says that its latest tests suggest hauliers could save 19% in fuel bills if drivers practised fuel-saving driving styles. This includes gentle acceleration and braking, optimal use of cruise control and avoiding too much idling... The 19% saving was made over four days monitoring a Scania 6x2 rigid. Initially the driver achieved 7.09mpg but increased this to 8.68mpg by using efficient driving techniques... Craig Sears-Black, Isotrak's sales and marketing director, says: "With fuel typically costing between £35,000 and £45,000 per year per HGV, representing 30%-35% of running costs, transport operators are under unprecedented pressure to minimise their fuel consumption. The good news is that better driving can save over £8,000 of fuel per annum"...
