REDUCING THE ENVIRONMENT IMPACT OF DRIVING - EFFECTIVENESS OF DRIVER TRAINING

Driver behaviour is critical in determining the fuel consumption, noise and exhaust emission rates during a trip. This paper summarises the findings of a study of the evidence that driver training can reduce fuel consumption, emissions and vehicle noise, and also considers how training schemes could be encouraged more widely. The research was conducted through a review of relevant published literature and interviews with fleet managers, training organisations and insurers. (A) For the covering abstract see ITRD E110582.
