Traditionally, companies decrease the cost of fuel in two ways. Firstly, they negotiate better prices with their supplier. Secondly, they try to decrease the number of miles. Video conferencing, home working, car pooling and public transportation are some well known ways to reach this goal.

A third solution saves fuel in a structural way, while maintaining the level of miles. The solution exists in having ecological driving lessons for employees.

There are many (small) suppliers and driving schools which offer green drivings lessons. It is key that employees who follow these lessons, will still benefit from the education on the long term, in order to have the company financially benefit from it. One shot green driving education classes should be avoided.

To guarantee the long term effects of green driving lessons, two aspects are crucial: information while driving and follow-up after driving.

The following two companies make sure drivers are aware of the consequences of their driving. The return on investment in the long term is therefore positive, which makes this type of green driving lessons an interesting solution.

They make sure:

• drivers are confronted with hard data while driving (by adding a laptop in the car)
• drivers have a follow-up on the long term via webtools and personal sessions
• the fleet managers of the companies get feedback

By doing all this, fuel economy of 10% to 20% is achieved. On top of that, less accidents occur and CO2 emissions are reduced.
