...............................................What is SAFED?

SAFED is a complementary driver development course, consisting of assessment and training. It intends to improve the safe and fuel efficient driving skills of LCV drivers. It therefore should complement a much broader programme of commercial vehicle fleet efficiency management. The one day course is free in some cases and subsidised in others depending upon the size of the organisation presenting drivers for training. For background information please see the SAFED website. Click here for the DfT SAFED (Vans) site Why have van training? During 2003 UK Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV) activity accounted for some 58 billion kilometres (Department for Transport statistics). Over 90% of this distance was in connection with collection and delivery of goods, travel between home and workplace or journeys between jobs and hence LCVs play an important role in the countries economy. Safer driving means: Less injuries and fatalities on our roads Less accident damage to vehicles Less unproductive downtime for vehicle repair The potential for reduced insurance premiums Fuel efficiency means: Lower costs Improved profit margins Reduced emissions Improved environmental performance Where operators actively monitor and manage the fuel used by vehicles a fleet’s fuel consumption can typically be reduced by 10%, with an equivalent cost saving. Use of safe and fuel-efficient driving techniques as part of fuel management will make a major contribution to this fuel saving.
