Course Overview:

This Driver CPC training module focuses on Fuel Efficient Driving Techniques and Environmental Awareness. It equips professional drivers with practical strategies to reduce fuel consumption, lower emissions, and drive more economically — without compromising safety or productivity.

With rising fuel costs and increasing pressure to reduce environmental impact, this course is essential for drivers and fleet operators who want to cut operational costs and improve their carbon footprint.

Through real-world examples, data insights, and interactive discussion, drivers will learn how small changes in behaviour, planning, and vehicle use can lead to major savings.
