LoCITY Driving

LoCITY Driving features classroom-based and e-learning modules to help drivers and transport managers save fuel and reduce the environmental impact of commercial vehicles.

The classroom-based module is a seven-hour, CPC-accredited course that focuses on minimising the environmental impact of vans and HGVs by reducing emissions through the use of pre-journey planning and vehicle checks, fuel-efficient driving, and alternative fuels.

The online modules reinforce key learnings across those topics, and give transport managers an overview of the range of alternative fuels available on the market.
