Fuel Safe: Advanced Eco Driving
Driver behaviour has the single biggest impact on fuel consumption, maintenance and safety
“ISM Fuel Safe drivers have proven the ability to control both the position and speed of their vehicle safely and systematically, applying the skills of anticipation and planning, displaying a courteous attitude towards other road users, in a manner that indicates this standard will be maintained in their daily drive”
(Dean Williams, ISM Fuel Safe Head Trainer)
ISM Fuel Safe Driver Training is the only Advanced Eco Driver Training Standard developed specifically for the Irish market.
Our courses are designed to teach trainees smart, smooth and safe driving techniques that have been proven to reduce annual fuel costs by 5-10%.
Advanced Eco Driving also leads to less accidents, reduced wear and tear on your vehicles, as well as reductions in emissions and noise levels.
If you have ever wondered how driving style influences your fuel bills and maintenance costs, ISM Fuel Safe Driver Training is the perfect solution for you.
We are not here to teach your or your employees how to drive, but how to apply a specific system to their driving that will make them safer and more confident on the road, and save money. Many of our clients have seen a return of investment within months.
There are a number of real and vital business reasons why your company should implement formal Driver Risk Management & Driver Training:
- Legal compliance with 2005 Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act.
- Reductions in annual fuel consumption of between 5% and 10%.
- Reductions in harmful emissions by 30%-40%.
- Reduced wear and tear on your vehicles.
- Less down time for your vehicles.
- Less stressed, more relaxed and productive driving for your employees.
