Scania is now running a training course in fuel-efficient driving for trucking companies that haul timber in parts of central Sweden for the Sveaskog forest product company. Results indicate that after training, the drivers can reduce their fuel consumption by 9 percent. For these truckers alone, this would represent 8,000 tonnes less carbon dioxide emissions each year.
Scania's driver training course is designed to meet the requirements of a new European Union directive on mandatory periodic training of professional drivers.
"Our timber transports by truck total about 70 million kilometres a year. If their fuel consumption can be lowered by 9 percent, this will save more than 3 litres of diesel fuel and 8,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions," says Olof Johansson, Senior Vice President Environment and Social Responsibility at Sveaskog.
