Lerum Freight BA adapted some of the lessons learned in the EU project RECODRIVE, in which the Western Norway Research Institute was one of the partners, to look for improvements in fleet management in order to achieve fuel savings, CO2 reduction and a decrease in the total transport volume. Fleet management includes incorporating optimal practices in the following areas:

1. purchasing of trucks,
2. itinerary improvements,
3. maintenance,
4. driver training and
5. logistics optimisation.

The project aimed at showing how freight companies can reduce institutional, practical and knowledge barriers related to adopting more environmentally benign transport solutions. The goal was also so ad the project experiences are  drawn upon by other freight transport companies.
