Case Studies

The Energy Saving Trust advice centre are working with the Environment Agency in Newcastle to arrange staff training on eco-driving and tips on reducing their environmental impact when travelling to work.

The Energy Saving Trust advice centre has encouraged Evening Gazette Business and Features Editor, Sue Scott, to eco-drive. Sue joined former traffic cop, Joe Kendall for a driving lesson to test her eco-driving skills. She then applied it to her company car, a Vauxhall Astra 1.6X diesel to see how much she could save. It proved a great success, as Sue wrote in the paper

'Better reading of the road, anticipation and intelligent use of speed also have the intended consequence of making the eco driver a better driver ... and, yes, I did save around 15 per cent on my fuel bill.'
