Fuel Advice consists of three modules:
1) Fuel Coaching. The fuel advisors register and analyze each
driver's individual driving techniques. The advisors provide
practical tips on how fuel consumption can be reduced, as well
as help with planning and with structuring the necessary fol-
low-up.
2) Fuel Management Toolbox. A web-based toolbox with tools
that provide inspiration, guidance and practical information
about the best and simplest ways of working with fuel savings.
3) Fuel Management Support. The customer's interface for con-
tacts with his or her individual fuel advisor, who is there to
answer questions and offer advice.
Fuel Advice is primarily targeted to small and medium sized com-
panies and complements Volvo Trucks' existing Fuel Manage-
ment Service, which is primarily designed for larger haulage fi rms.
Eco Operator from Volvo CE
EcoOperator is a training program from Volvo Construction Equip-
ment that gives operators the practical and theoretical knowledge
they need to become safer, more ef cient and extra environ-
mentally conscious while operating equipment. No matter how fuel
ef cient a piece of equipment is, the operator has a signifi cant
effect on fuel consumption and productivity.
The program teaches correct machine operation and maneuver-
ing as well as how to plan work in the smartest, most ef cient way.
By following these techniques operators can help save money on
fuel, increase overall productivity, reduce maintenance expenses
and reduce the impact on the environment.
Effi cient driving with Volvo Buses
Fuel costs represents a substantial part of a bus operator’s costs.
Volvo Buses offers a range of services aimed at minimizing fuel
consumption. With the Fleet Management Report, the customer
can measure and follow up each vehicle’s performance in terms of
fuel ef ciency and emissions. Volvo I-Coaching is a tool located on
the dashboard in the bus which gives instant feedback on driver
behavior, helping the driver to drive more economically and safely.
Volvo Buses also offers courses in Ef cient Driver Training. In total,
these measures can deliver fuel savings of about 10%.
