'Ecolution' solution to emissions.A DRIVER training scheme that can improve economy by up to 25 per cent and lead to significant vehicle emission reductions has been launched today by two of the UK's leading fleet driver training companies, IAM IAM - Interactive Algebraic Manipulation. Interactive symbolic mathematics for PDP-10. ["IAM, A System for Interactive Algebraic Manipulation", C. Christensen et al, Proc Second Symp Symb Alg Manip, ACM Mar 1971]. Fleet UK and Drive & Survive, which is part of IAM Commercial. The organisation has developed what it calls Ecolution to help companies reduce fuel bills and their carbon footprint A carbon footprint is the total amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases emitted over the full life cycle of a product or service. . "Ecolution teaches simple driving techniques that are easily adopted in everyday driving behaviour and have a significant impact on fleet running costs running costs npl [of business] → gastos mpl corrientes [of car] → gastos mpl de mantenimiento running costs npl [of business ," says IAM's Simon Elstow. "This includes an overview of things a driver can do to improve fuel consumption, such as ensuring tyres are at the correct pressure and removing unnecessary weight." Results from trials show that for a fleet of 3,000 drivers, companies could see an average annual fuel bill reduction of more than pounds 300,000, and CO2 savings of 3,000 tonnes a year. |
