Overview

Background & policy context:

The Road Haulage Forum, chaired by ministers from the Department for Transport and the Treasury, agreed to fund the roll out of this project. This was in recognition that in-cab training for truck drivers can be a very effective way of developing new and better skills. There is some evidence of a shortage of drivers and of drivers lacking skills for safe and fuel-efficient driving. The feasibility study confirmed that it was feasible and that stakeholder demand existed.

Objectives:

This project will use the SAFED standard and roll it out to the industry. Driving skills will be enhanced in a variety of general and specific situations to the benefit of road safety and the environment.

Methodology:

Train drivers with SAFED Guidelines.
