The guide shows how fleet fuel consumption can be reduced through action in three areas – vehicle care, journey preparation and eco-driving – and offers 22 straightforward measures.

The guide is part of the Fuel Card Services Fleet Matters series, aimed at all size and type of fleets including owner-drivers with single vehicles.

Steve Clarke, group marketing manager, said: “Every day, we work with customers ranging from public sector transport managers running just a few vans to private sector fleet managers responsible for hundreds of mixed vehicles. We know the issues, from fuel consumption to emissions monitoring, from talking to them constantly. It takes many years to grow this breadth and depth of experience, which we are now feeding back.”
