Safe And Fuel Efficient Driving (SAFED) is designed to improve the driving techniques of both truck and van drivers.
The SAFED training programme was developed by a steering group of industry experts and is sponsored by the Department for Transport.
Current funding is available and consists of: • Subsidies in the aggregates sector • Subsidies in the van sector Since its introduction, thousands of drivers have been through the one-day training course, and hundreds of driver-trainers have completed the SAFEC Instructor's Course. Widespread benefits have been reported following the completion of training, with an average MPG saving of around 10% for truck drivers and 16% for van drivers.
The training comprises a full day's training in both practical and theoretical elements. The driver is assessed on their current driving style, and is then given tuition to improve driving technique to aid fuel efficiency and improve safety. Finally, the driver is reassessed to record improvements in driving performance and actual fuel consumption.
