Efficient Transport

Getting your staff from A to B with the least cost to the business and the environment

• Ensure cars are tuned and serviced regularly.
• Make sure tyres are inflated to the correct pressure – under-inflated tyres increase fuel consumption unnecessarily.
• Lighten the load on the engine – don’t store heavy equipment in the car that is not needed every day.
• When filling up at the fuel pump, don’t keep filling after the nozzle automatically cuts out – over-filled tanks lose fuel via the overflow pipe.
• Use the air conditioner only when necessary – it can use up to 10% more fuel than needed for driving.
• Allow staff to avoid peak-hour driving through staggered or flexible work hours where possible.
• Set up a car pool or offer public transport passes instead of car use.
